Photo Competition 2017

Another year of mountain activities was behind us, so there was time for our traditional Photo Competition. Photo Contest seems to be getting bigger with every year - one hundred and eight photos were submitted to this year's edition. Besides Canadian Rocky Mountains we received photos from French and Austrian Alps, Beskydy, Opava and even Laos. The new thing this year is that we made an effort to make the competition ... bilingual. Almost all our Club's members speak good, or at least decent, English, while not everyone speaks Polish. These allowed a bunch of new people to compete and/or cast their votes.

The competition was very tough, and the results quite close in many categories. In this post I will only present the winning photos. Those who would be interested seeing all of them, I encourage to visit https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s6e9tprzvi382nk/AAAqRleZqzNxNhB5ZebBLOW1a?dl=0

And here are the winners in the ten categories:

A – „Ludzie i góry” – Piotr Rajski Award – “People and the mountains”

A1. Invictus. – 68 points. Author: Piotr Rajski. Model: Mike Trzecieski-Alexander. The photo was taken in Zillertal Alps (Austria), during the second leg of Berlin Hohenweg (7 day long trek) in July 2017. This photo was also voted to be the Best Photo of 2017.
