Pie and Slide

Submissions are now closed.

The annual photography competition gives club members a chance to show off their best photos from the year while enjoying good company and an array of pies. External judges determine who will get the prizes, which are generously donated by our sponsors.

Winning photos can be found in past editions of The Mountaineer.  

This year, Pie and Slide will be held at Burger Buzz, located at 333 Sydney Road in Brunswick (just opposite Savers).

The Pie and Slide event will replace normal trip meetings at the clubrooms.

Photos are submitted in any of the following categories:

Club Activity

Action photograph of a person/people doing a club activity (e.g. placing protection, skiing, cooking dinner in a snow cave, paddling a waterfall). Photos taken on club trips or featuring club members are preferred.

Faces of the Club

Portraits of Club members, whether it be at the crag, on the trail or at an MUMC social event.

Australian Landscape

Photographs in an obvious club related outdoors setting, where an activity is not necessarily the major feature (e.g. landscapes). Must be in Australia, does not have to be on a club trip.

Overseas Landscape

Photographs in an obvious club related outdoors setting, where an activity is not necessarily the major feature (e.g. landscapes). Must not be in Australia.

Outdoors Nature

Flora and Fauna (overseas or Australian).

Club Personality and Humour

Capture the spirit of the club or one of its members in a single photograph, or a photo of a club member/event which brings a laugh.

Photojournalism

Photographs that tell an interesting story. Here the capturing of the story is more important than the actual quality of the photo. Examples might include the chaos surrounding a rescue, instruction or training.

Photoshop Fantasia

Digitally-altered photos that may imply a story wondrously manipulated to perfection. Usually a goofy creation.

Baby pictures

This year we will be including a people's choice: baby picture category. Please submit your baby picture to get a free raffle ticket!

Baby has to be under 4 years old. 

Video
