2012 Banff Mountain Photography Competition
“While a stand-alone photo has the power to inspire us and tease our curiosity of the what, where, and how, an essay of multiple images presents a fuller understanding and exploration of people and place.”
Baiba Morrow, jury member
2011 Banff Mountain Photography Competition
For the past 16 years, the Banff Mountain Photography Competition has been privileged to showcase some of the finest images in mountain photography.
The format of the Banff Mountain Photography Competition changed to photo essays last year, with the theme of MOUNTAIN EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE, which offers a more complete view of the experiences and lives of people who inhabit and travel to the mountains. For 2012 we will be continuing this same theme, and will present a new theme in 2013.
We are looking for mountain stories in the form of photographic essays. The style and content of these essays is determined only by the skill and creativity of the photographers, and the basic form of the essays is that they should consist of no more than seven images, and that they follow the theme of: MOUNTAIN EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE.
$3,000 Prize (CAD) for best photo essay (2-7 images).
Theme: Mountain Exploration and Adventure
The winner will be notified by May 31, 2012. The winning photo essay will be exhibited at this year’s Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival (Fall 2012) and will be on display until Fall 2013 at The Banff Centre.
The 2012 Competition is now closed. We thank you for all of your entries! Please check back to see winning photos by early June.
