The first thing you do when you come to Alaska is snap a photo. It’s the easiest way to record your memories for years to come, why not let those simple pictures work for you. Denali Lodges & Alaska Denali Tours is hosting the first annual Alaska Vacation Photo Contest. The winner will receive two framed and matted prints from the renowned Denali photographer Kirstie Knittel, a prize valued at over $1000. The photographs, “Denali and Fireweed” and “Bobbly Skies”, show Mt. McKinley’s scenic beauty. “Denali and Fireweed” depicts the mountain beautifully captured with the native Fireweed in the foreground. “Bobbly Skies” shows you two different images of Denali reflected in Kettle Pond. Both photos were taken inside Denali National Park from the only road that leads to Denali Backcountry Lodge in Kantishna. Visitors to the Lodge can view these same scenes from the Lodge’s bus.
All you have to do to enter this contest is send your one-of-a-kind breathtaking photos of Alaska’s scenery. We accept submissions over the Internet only, and we recommend that the contestants use high-resolution (minimum 300 dpi) files, between 2-3 MB (for photographs taken with a digital camera or scanned negatives). Photographs can be uploaded to the web site Alaska Travel Pictures or emailed to The Contest Manager.
As always, we encourage you to submit all aspects of your Alaska adventure, group photos, animal sightings, scenic views, and activities in all seasons. Entry is FREE and the deadline is May 28, 2010. Please visit Alaska Denali Tours for terms and conditions. Please check back often for updates.
