Blog Post #10: 2017 Picture Wild Montana Contest

As the semester has begun to wind down, and more of us are starting to focus on editing our photos more than taking them, I thought I would take a break from sharing my photographs on this blog and rather take a moment to talk about a photography contest - specifically one that focuses on nature in Montana.

Earlier this month, art professor Mark Moak forwarded an email to us (those of us who went on the first Yellowstone National Park photography trip) that was from the Montana Wilderness Association. The body of the email explained that the 9th annual "Picture Wild Montana" media contest was accepting submissions at this time. Photographers and videographers have until Thursday, November 30, to submit photos and films that truly depict Montana's wild places from their point of view.

Prizes available total more than $1,500. This year is the first time the Montana Wilderness Association has offered a film category in addition to the photo category. There will be three winners selected from both the photo and video categories. All winners will be notified sometime mid-December.

Anyone interested in this contest can visit wildmontana.org/photocontest, or can contact the Montana Wilderness Association Education and Outreach Manager Amanda Hagerty at ahagerty@wildmontana.org.

Thank you, Mark, for sharing this opportunity with us! I'm excited to know that there are other platforms out there that we can have our photographs displayed. To submit a photo and/or video, please visit https://wildmontana.wishpond.com/landing-page-2263349/.
