17th Annual Dahl Mountain Photo Competition & Exhibit

The Rapid City Arts Council and Rapid City Journal are again teaming up and encouraging all photographers to submit their best work for the upcoming 17th Annual Dahl Mountain Photo Competition. This is a juried photography exhibition based on mountain culture. Mountain culture is a lifestyle that includes ideas, values and beliefs that are shared by people thriving in or near a mountainous terrain. Judges will select the show through a blind jury process. There are three exhibit categories. They include Youth (18 and younger), Adult - Amateur/Hobbyist and Adult – Experienced / Professional. Judges will award First, Second and Third place in Adult-Amateur/Hobbyist and Adult-Experienced/Professional, as well as a Best of Show Award and a Best in Youth Award. 

This event is held in conjunction with the Banff Mountain Film Festival. The 2021 exhibition will be up from March 12 – April 24, 2020 in the Inez & Milton Shaver Gallery and in the lobby Gallery.

Rapid City Arts Council’s Definition of Mountain Culture
​

Mountain culture is a lifestyle. It is the ideas, values and beliefs that are shared by people thriving in a robust environment - in or near mountainous terrain, i.e. the Black Hills of South Dakota. Your photography submissions for this show should reflect mountain lifestyle.

Some examples of acceptable subject matter are: mountain scenery, wildlife, people or sports. We encourage you to be creative in your approach: suggestions include alternative processes, abstract, macro or non-conventional images and viewpoints.
