2008 CMC Member Photo Exhibition
In conjunction with CMC’s annual Mountain Fest
ELIGIBILITY
CMC members are encouraged to participate. Photos taken by
participants in CMC public programs (such as our Youth Education Program) are
also eligible.
CATEGORIES FOR 2008
You may enter photos in any or all of the four categories:
Teamwork
The theme for CMC’s 2008 Mountain Fest is Teamwork. This
category is open to some creativity, but all photographs must be CMC
mission-related.
CMC Education
Mountain skills education is a core component of our
mission. Share your photos from CMC schools and seminars.
CMC’s Adventure Travel
Photographs taken on any CMC Adventure Travel trip (in the U.S.
or abroad). These shots can be landscape, people in action, or photos of local
culture.
Nature/Wilderness
This category is for wildlife, flora, and wilderness landscape
scenes. Please no domesticated animals or pets.
DISPLAY

Mountaineering Center in Golden starting Friday, October 17, 2008, and ending
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Judging will be conducted prior to the opening of
the show.
PRIZES
Ribbons: Ribbons will be awarded for “Best of Show” and first,
