With $2,500 in prizes on the line, a highly competitive playing field, and a few titles to defend, some 200 Bozeman-area photographers gave it their best shot—and the results were impressive indeed. The Outside Bozeman Photo Contest, now in its sixth year, once again brought in sharpshooters of all ages, and showed off the best outdoor lifestyle, action, nature, and landscape images of southwest Montana.

Judging over 1,500 photos wasn’t easy, but eventually we pared down the impressive array to 36 finalists and three division champs. Andy Austin is the overall amateur winner, snagging gold with a sweet nighttime shot of Palisade Falls. Bob Allen took top honors in the professional division; his image of a perfect powder day got the judges all giddy for the coming ski season. And John Center edged out the other juniors to claim top shot, with a wildflower-flecked photo of the Hyalite Creek Drainage. This talented triumvirate will duke it out for the top three prizes: $500 in cash, a $500 gift card to Bozeman Camera, and a $500 helicopter photo tour with Rocky Mountain Rotors. Gift cards and gear galore await the rest of the finalists, courtesy of our generous sponsors (see below).

As usual, all the winning photos will be on display at Sola Cafe in December and January. Award party location and details TBD; keep an eye on outsidebozeman.com for updates. Now, settle in and soak up some incredible images of the place we’re lucky enough to call home.
