The goal of the Banff Mountain Photo Essay Competition [1] is to showcase the best in mountain-themed photo essays — to recognize the best stories told through a series of still images. We invite photographers to submit photos to illustrate their mountain-related stories whether culture, adventure, wildlife, sport, environment or natural history. The jury is seeking a sequence of images that conveys a compelling story or message — with each image strong enough to stand on its own while conveying a greater narrative when viewed in the photographer’s desired sequence.

Grand prize is $3,000CAD.

Deadline to enter is May 5, 2025.
