Wilderness Forever
Photography Exhibition
The 63 selected images in this exhibition celebrate the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Wilderness Act. These extraordinary views of nature represent some of the 757 federally designated wilderness areas in North America and were submitted by professional, amateur, and student photographers.
These images provide a collective celebration of wilderness drawn from more than 5,000 photos submitted by citizens across the United States and international visitors to U.S. wilderness areas. They were judged in four catgeories: Scenic Landscape, Wildlife, People in Wilderness, and Most Inspirational Moment. There are Pro, Amateur, and Student Winners in each catgeory, as well as Honorable Mentions and an overall Grand Prize winner.
Photographic entries were judged by a panel of professionals in the fields of science, photography, and conservation and selected for this exhibition based upon the image category relevance, technical quality, composition, and artistic merit. |
