活動簡介:
班夫山地攝影散文比賽旨在展示以山地為主題的最佳攝影作品,透過一系列靜態影像講述引人入勝的故事。我們邀請攝影師提交與山地相關的照片,主題可涵蓋文化、冒險、野生動物、運動、環境或自然歷史等。評審團尋求能夠傳達引人入勝故事或訊息的照片序列,每張照片既能獨立展現,又能在攝影師設定的順序中傳遞更完整的敘事。

The Banff Mountain Photo Essay Competition aims to showcase the best in mountain-themed photo essays, telling compelling stories through a series of still images. We invite photographers to submit mountain-related photos covering themes such as culture, adventure, wildlife, sport, environment, or natural history. The jury seeks a sequence of images that conveys a compelling story or message, with each image strong enough to stand on its own while contributing to a greater narrative in the photographer’s desired sequence.
