The best Dress the Turkey birds are out of the oven! Gobble up the 2023 winners right here

It's a Thanksgiving tradition as old as, well, as old as a 35-year-old man. The Enquirer’s 35th annual Dress the Turkey contest, presented by Cincinnati Art Museum, is all wrapped up in foil and out of the oven.

Artists of Cincinnati, young and old, have been designing, scribbling and submitting these beautiful birds since October, and the folks at The Enquirer have to note that picking winners was VERY hard this year. This city is flush with creative, talented (sometimes very quirky) people, and this competition is a yearly reminder of that.

So, without further gobbling, here are your 2023 winners. Four folks will take home $100 each. We have an overall winner and winners in three age groups, 12 and under, 13-20 and 21 and up. Let's dig in.

Still have room for more? Fret not, your wishbone has come true! We're also sharing heaps of our favorite finalists from the pile of nearly 700 birds submitted this year. We are thankful for every last one of them.
