2019 Utah Bar Journal Cover of the Year
The winner of the Utah Bar Journal Cover of the Year award for 2019 is Cliff Lake, taken by Utah State Bar member Byron E. Harvison. Harvison's photo appeared on the cover of the May/fun 2019 issue. Asked how he came to take this photo, Byron explained: My family and I had been out for a day of climbing at Cliff Lake in the Uintas. My daughter Avery and I had just finished putting a new route up called Critter Conundrum and were walking back along the cliff band towards the lake when I stopped for this shot.
Congratulations to Byron, and thank you to all of the contributors who have shared their photographs of Utah on Bar Journal covers over the past thirty-one years!
The Bar Journal editors encourage members of the Utah State Bar or Paralegal Division, who are interested in having photographs they have taken of Utah scenes published on the cover of the Utah Bar Journal, to submit their photographs for consideration. For details and instructions, please see page three of this issue.
