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.
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.
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.
No watermarks or big text across the image.
How to Enter
Photos can be submitted from October 1-31, 2025 using this form here.
