The Best Photo Sitting on Your Phone: 2020 Edition

Brian Lehrer Show's "Best Photo On Your Phone" Contest

Check out the winners of the photo contest, below.

Every year, The Brian Lehrer Show asks you to submit the best photo you took that is sitting on your phone – and every year, you deliver with some truly impressive snaps! 

This year, we still want to see the best picture on your phone – but…it will also be a part of a larger project: a time capsule that we’re making, to remember this very strange, difficult, pandemic year. We’ll open it up in 2030, and we’ll see these photos, and hear stories from our listeners (more info on the time capsule here). 

So: share the best photo you’ve got sitting on your phone (and while we all know they are adorable, no babies, no pets please!) by uploading your picture here. We're partnering with Photoville to help us pick our favorites, and we’ll talk to the photographers on the air in early January. Winners get bragging rights (and a chance to talk about their picture on the air), and everyone will have their photo preserved in the WNYC time capsule!
