Pie and Slide 2023

Pie and Slide is MUMC's annual photo competetion with prizes for a bunch of different categories. On September 12th 7:00pm at The Clyde Hotel we will be presenting the submissions in a slideshow presentation, eating subsidised $5 pies (the yummiest kind) and even drinking $10 pints if that's your thing. An expert panel of highly trained judges will determine the best submissions for each category and the winners will get cool prizes, generally in the form of discounts and gear from outdoor stores (to be determined). 

Follow this link to submit photos and enter the competition!

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.
• Video: Video of no more than 4 minutes fitting into any of the photographic categories.
• It's All a Blur (bonus category): Low resolution or poor quality photos. A submission to this category won't count towards your total number of photos (6 maximum in total), we may offer a prize, but the point is to make us laugh or be amazed during the intermission!
