Capture Your Adventure: Four Season Guides 2024 Photo Contest
Why do we journey into wild places, push beyond our comfort zones, and seek the beauty of untouched landscapes? At Four Season Guides, we believe it’s all about the memories—the breathtaking moments, shared laughter, and challenges conquered together. Over the years, we’ve been privileged to experience these incredible adventures alongside our clients, and each trip has been filled with stories that linger long after the last trail is hiked. We know that, for many of you, capturing these moments through a lens makes them even more vivid, allowing you to hold onto the magic and share it with others.
That’s why we’re launching the Four Season Guides 2024 Photo Contest. It’s a celebration of your experiences, your adventures, and the stunning places we’ve explored together. From epic sunsets to quiet mornings by a campfire, candid shots of new friendships, or the thrill of spotting wildlife up close—these are the moments that make every adventure unforgettable. And now, we want to see them through your eyes.
What Makes a Great Shot?
The perfect photo might be a sweeping vista that takes our breath away or a candid moment that captures the spirit of camaraderie on the trail. Perhaps it’s a close-up of a vibrant wildflower, a stunning sunrise painting the sky, or a shot capturing the pure awe of reaching that hard-won summit. Whatever form your photo takes, we’re looking for shots that make us say, “Wow!”
And you don’t need to be a professional. Our judges are our own staff—lovers of adventure, yes, but professional photographers, no. We’re looking for photos that tell a story, that capture the heart of your experience, and that make us want to be there, standing right next to you.
The Prizes
Of course, sharing memories is great—but a chance to win a prize is even better!
Our Grand Prize winner will receive $1,500 toward any Four Season Guides tour of their choice, and our Second Place winner will receive $500 toward a
future adventure. These prizes are our way of saying thank you for making memories with us and sharing them with others who might be inspired to create their own.
