2022 Winner of Audience Favorite - Photographed by Shauna Hart
Here are the categories for Scenic Utah's 2024 'City to Summit' Photo Contest:
Night Skies—Astrophotography of all types. Long exposures or quick shots of Utah’s scenic night sky, featuring urban or unfettered silhouettes, or any-thing in between.
Scenic Streetscapes—Striking architecture, vibrant public art, colorful Main Streets and other aspects of the built environment that bring joy and in-spire pride in your community and neighborhood.
Billboards Blunders—Outdoor advertising that’s spoiling community character and views of the natural world. These shots capture billboards standing in the way of an otherwise beautiful image, and call attention to visual pollution that could—and should—be removed.
Rural Utah—Picturesque farmlands, native lands, and small-town vistas, these images encapsulate the slower pace and beautiful backdrops that characterize Utah’s rural history, past and present.
Scenic Byways and Backways—Captivating views along Utah’s renowned ‘Scenic Byways’ or All-American Roads. From winding mountain roads to desert highways, highlight the diverse landscapes and hidden gems on Utah’s 28 formally designated byways.
Nature in the City—Community parks, gardens, or green spaces that serve as sanctuaries in the concrete jungle. These spots offer a breath of fresh air and aesthetic appeal in urban environments.
