This year’s contest brought us an outstanding collection of photographs celebrating the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge from familiar perspectives, unexpected angles, and wonderfully creative points of view.

For 2026, we were pleased to welcome a panel of accomplished professional photographers to judge the Professional division. Our Amateur and Youth divisions also gave the public an opportunity to take part in selecting their favorites. Together, these different perspectives helped us recognize photographs that demonstrate technical and artistic excellence while capturing the character and spirit of this remarkable landmark.

We are delighted to showcase this year’s winning and runner-up photographs below, and we congratulate every photographer whose work was selected.

The Roebling Bridge Society (RBS) extends its sincere thanks to everyone who entered, judged, voted, volunteered, or otherwise helped make this year’s contest a success. Every photograph submitted helps us celebrate the bridge and share its beauty with a wider community.

About the RBS: Our mission is to preserve and enhance the beauty of the iconic Roebling Bridge, keep its decorative lights shining brightly, and educate the public about its history and significance. Our work is powered by local volunteers who share an appreciation for this extraordinary landmark. The annual photo contest is one of the ways we celebrate the bridge, introduce it to new audiences, and encourage greater involvement in its preservation.
