Brenda Arroyo wins KYMA Mother’s Day photo contest in Yuma County

Brenda Arroyo won KYMA’s 2026 Mother’s Day Photo Contest after the station said it received dozens of submissions, turning a seasonal giveaway into a small but visible community moment in Yuma County. KYMA announced the win on May 8 at 3:46 p.m. and said the grand prize package was valued at $400.

The contest fit squarely into the kind of audience participation that local stations rely on in a market like Yuma. KYMA thanked everyone who entered, a reminder that the value of the contest was not only the prize itself but the number of families willing to send in photos tied to Mother’s Day. That kind of response gives the station a ready-made snapshot of family life in the region, with the winning image serving as the centerpiece of the announcement.

KYMA also thanked four sponsors that helped support the prize package: Bubba’s 33, Ashley Furniture, El Centro Motors and Liberty Motorsports. Those names reflect the local business mix that often underpins station promotions in smaller markets, where seasonal contests can link advertisers, viewers and community identity in a way that is both practical and highly visible.

The contest had been promoted earlier, on April 21, 2026, and it now sits alongside other recurring entries on KYMA’s contests page, including Guess When We Hit 111 Degrees, Mom of the Year 2026 and Sunrise Shoutouts. That lineup shows the station leaning on promotions that are easy for viewers to understand, easy to enter and tied to moments that already matter in daily life, from weather to holidays to family recognition.

For Yuma County audiences, Arroyo’s win is a light but recognizable local story: a familiar station, a modest prize package, dozens of entries and a Mother’s Day theme that resonated enough to draw broad participation. In a news cycle often dominated by heavier issues, the contest offered a simple public acknowledgment of family pride and a reminder that community engagement still has a place in local broadcasting.
