2025 Photo Competition

1. Who Can Enter
   • Open to all current club members.
   • All ages welcome — if you’re under 18, please have a parent or guardian enter on
     your behalf.
2. Theme
   • There are two categories to choose from:
     • Landscapes (think breathtaking views!)
     • Action/Adventures (think people doing fun activities outdoors!)
   • Photos should show your alpine views or adventures and embody the themes of the
     alpine club. For the photos, think stewardship, mountaineering, fostering
     knowledge, community, and promoting alpine experiences like hiking, climbing,
     snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, cross country skiing.
3. What to Submit
   • You can send in up to two photos per category.
   • Photos must be taken by you (no borrowing your friend’s epic summit shot).
   • Photos must have been taken in the last two years.
   • JPEG or PNG < 10MB format preferred. If possible, aim for high resolution so it looks
     great if printed or displayed.
   • Some light editing is fine (cropping, adjusting brightness/contrast), but please don’t
     Photoshop a grizzly bear into your glacier crossing.
   • No AI generated photos permitted.
