About two dozen readers participated, several submitting multiple entries. We received photographs, paintings, drawings, mixed media and digital art from places including Asotin, Clarkston, Lewiston, Moscow, Pullman, Pomeroy and Troy.
A group of Inland 360, Lewiston Tribune and Moscow-Pullman Daily News staff members chose from 10 finalists earlier this week to determine first-, second- and third-place winners, a process that ended with a tie for third place.
The winning entries, though rendered in different styles, shared a bold use of color, which was perhaps especially appealing during these gray days of winter.
Without further ado, the 2025 Inland 360 cover contest winners are:
First place: Cheryll Root, of Troy.
Second place: David Hoyt, of Pullman.
Third place (tie): Michael Poe and Julene Ewert, both of Moscow.
Joining them as finalists were: John Kirkland, Asotin; Steve Ewert, Troy; Frank “Franksy” Eldridge, Pullman; Rose Graham, Moscow; Stan Gibbons, Lewiston; and Cherise Stutzman, Moscow.
