Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum is a museum dedicated for mountains and mountaineering sport. The museum organizes a number of exhibitions, education programs, lectures and other activities to inspire and educate visitors about the mountains and their role in addressing various issues related to environment. The museum also educates people about the cultural and inspirational qualities of the mountains and mountaineering sport.
Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum is currently inviting photographers from across the world to send entries for the Environmental Photography Exhibition that will be organized by the museum in the coming days.
Themes
All photographers, from all regions and all styles and processes are encouraged to enter. From avant-garde to f64 images, the Environmental Photography Exhibition hopes to represent the shared vision of world communities that are concerned about environmental issues. What the photographs being displayed have in common is their ability to inform, motivate, and move their viewers.
