Finalists for the 12th Annual Appalachian Mountain Photography Competition (AMPC) have been selected.  We would like to thank all of the photographers who participated in the AMPC this year. With over 1,000 images submitted for this year’s competition, we were just shy of our record number making this the second largest number of submissions in AMPC’s 12 year history.

The finalists were selected on Wednesday, December 10th, 2014, after the jurors spent the better part of a day going through every image. Notifications were emailed earlier today to all of the photographers who were selected letting them know which images were chosen and how to submit them for the public exhibition.  The exhibition will be opening on March 6th, 2015 and will go through June 6th, 2015 in the Mezzanine Gallery at the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts in Boone, NC.

The finalists’ photographs will be added to our website early next year once all submitted images have been received by the Turchin Center.  In the meantime, you may enjoy browsing and commenting on finalists from prior competitions in the galleries on our new website.

We cannot thank everyone enough for their participation in this year’s competition.  It is the photographers that continue to provide the margin of excellence that we strive to achieve.

If you, or someone you know, would like to participate as a competition sponsor or supporter, please contact Rich Campbell, Competition Director, at 828-262-2475.
