The year-end awards in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association have expanded, adding the Timer of the Year honor to this year’s ballot. Also on the ballot for the first time is Photographer of the Year, an award that has been given annually for the past 19 years; it is now decided on a vote of the membership instead of by the PRCA communications department.

Congratulations to all the nominees; being a finalist is a huge accomplishment.
