My wife and I honeymooned in Alaska and had the most breathtaking experience on the Prince William Sound cruise. The water was incredibly calm, and the glaciers magnificent. Dinner was also fantastic.

A pair of matted and framed photographic print by a local Denali photographer KIRSTY KNITTEL, valued at over $1000. The first one, Denali and Fireweed, depicts Denali (Mt McKinley) close-up with Fireweed in the foreground. The second one, Bobbly Skies, shows Denali as a scenic part of the Alaska Range, reflected in a 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 if the weather permits. They were both photographed on 35mm Fujichrome slide film using Canon EOS1N, professionally printed on Fuji Crystal Archive photographic paper by The Slideprinter in Colorado, individually signed in gold, matted in archival suede for the main mat with two inside acid-free mats, mounted on foamcore, and framed in blue-gray wood to size 24" x 36" each, all personally done by Kirsty herself.
Explain, through the image, the natural history of Alaska. The objective is to show breathtaking beauty of Alaskan landscape, of the towering jagged peaks of high mountains, of rivers charting their course, of glaciers glissading down the mountain side, and of wildlife untamed roaming free in their natural habitat. We also invite artists to send their photographs that document activities one can do while in Alaska. We will only accept digital images, taken by a digital camera or those that have been scanned from negatives or paper versions. The contestants can only submit their photographs through the Internet. The photographer should identify their work or works with a TITLE. Each digital image should be sent as a JPG file, the size of the image does not matter however it should be appropriate to be visualized on the screen. 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 could be uploaded to the web site www.AlaskaTravelPictures.com or emailed to contest@alaskadenalitours.com
Alaska Denali Tours acquires the printing rights on the submitted photographs, to be able to publish them or exhibit them in our brochures or websites. The author keeps the intellectual and patrimonial rights to the photographs. The submitted photographs will become part of the physical and digital archives of Alaska Denali Tours, which will be able to exhibit them and publish them, giving due credit to the artists but without any financial award to the artist.
