Celebrating Austin's Creative Spirit, Contest Highlights

At McKee Media, we’re thrilled by the creativity in Austin. This past June, KXAN hosted a viewer photo contest, and we proudly congratulate Jo Ann Ellis, whose photo "Colorful Friends" won.

We're also excited about Brystal McKee's photo "Evening View," which was selected as a finalist. Being recognized among the top entries is an honor and highlights Austin’s supportive creative community.

Thank You, KXAN

We want to express our gratitude to KXAN for featuring Brystal’s photo. This acknowledgment highlights the vibrant and encouraging environment Austin offers to photographers and content creators. Each month, KXAN receives hundreds of submissions from viewers, making the competition fierce and the recognition even more meaningful.
