Tell Your Mountain Story: Submit to Our Photo Essay Competition. We seek powerful visual narratives that capture the essence of mountain life. Whether your story explores culture, adventure, wildlife, or environmental concerns, we want to see your compelling photo essays. Our jury will select sequences of technically and aesthetically stunning images that stand alone while collectively weaving a captivating story. Amateur and professional photographers are invited to share their unique mountain perspectives.
Submissions will be accepted in the form of photographic essays only.
Images can depict any mountain story consisting of culture, adventure, wildlife, sport, environment or natural history.
$3,000 CAD Grand Prize
The winning essay will be displayed as part of the 2025 Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival exhibitions.
Finalists may also be displayed during the Festival.
We will honour your copyright, and all images will be credited to the photographer.
