Now that the winning photographers have been advised, we are happy to announce the competition results to all who entered. We are still in the early stages of compiling the material from the winning photographers, and once we have the exhibition formats, descriptions and the photographers’ biographies, we will be posting this information on our website – please visit early in August 2009 for a preview of the photographs that caught the eye of the jury members at: www.banffcentre.ca/mountainculture/photo – the photos will be on display at The Banff Centre beginning in October 2009 and will remain on display through to October 2010.
Our jury members – award-winning photographers Alec Pytlowany, and Andrew Querner and photographer/graphic designer Kristy Davison – remarked that (although they were limited to awarding 1 Grand Prize, 6 Category Prizes and 10 Special Mentions) choosing so few from among over 4000 images made their task very, very difficult. The message that comes through from the images is that our competition entrants all have a compelling desire to share their mountain experiences and the sheer wonder of these wilderness places. The range of subject matter, style and creative vision from so many exceptionally talented and dedicated photographers was truly astounding!
Awards are presented to: Grand Prize – Nathalie Daoust, Germany/Canada Best Photo Mountain Adventure – Sankar Sridhar, India Best Photo Mountain Culture – Matthieu Paley – China/France Best Photo Mountain Environment – Eric Heistand, USA Best Photo Mountain Flora/Fauna – Cindy Goeddel, USA Best Photo Mountain Landscape – Richard Hallman, USA
And the following photographers received Special Mentions: Thomas Bartl, Austria Gunnar Conrad, USA Dusty Demerson, USA Lorena Endara, Panama Michael Hanson, USA Jordan Manley, Canada Rainer Mirau, Austria Glenn Oakley, USA Morten Rygaard, Denmark
