Announcing the 2026 WBNA Community Calendar Photo Contest Winners!
We would like to recognize this year’s winners! Each exceptional image showcases the unique characteristics and charm of Wells Branch. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the contest. We had nearly 50 entries and the pubic voting response highlighted overwhelming support for the neighborhood.
This year’s 10th anniversary calendar is a great a mix of local area landscapes, our incredible wildlife, seasonal views and Wells Branch landmarks. Our cover celebrates the love that went into the mural in the children’s area at the Library. Painted by the Heart of Texas Tole Painters, concept and design by Dianne Koehler.

2026 WBNA Community Calendar Photo Contest: “Celebrating Wells Branch”
The annual WBNA Community Calendar Photo Contest is ready to launch. Our 2025 calendar was extremely popular and every image stood out as testament to our wonderful community. 2026 marks a special publication milestone: We are marking the 10 year anniversary of the Wells Branch Community Calendar. It’s worth noting that the WB Friends of the Library group worked to produce the first two years and the WBNA has continued the contest and calendar tradition since the first FOL issue in 2016-17.
The 2026 theme is “Celebrating Wells Branch”, in honor of the 10th anniversary. Images should focus on anything that “celebrates” the unique charm and spirit of our community. Once again the contest will take place both live in the WB MUD Recreation Center main lobby as well as online via the our WBNA Facebook gallery for viewing and voting. The WB MUD Rec Center will host the contest gallery and “live” votes will be collected in a drop box. You may vote often, but only once for a single image.
As a reminder, anyone who lives in Wells Branch can submit a photo (up to six photos). The image format MUST be in 8×10 landscape format for the calendar. The only real “rules” are that images must be taken within Wells Branch boundaries by Wells Branch residents (or their friends and family). Watch our website and the various social media groups for complete contest details.
