2027 Photo/Video Contest

Each fall ESWA solicits entries for its annual contest for photos that best evoke the splendor of the Wilderness Areas that ESWA helps protect – Eagles Nest, Holy Cross, Flat Tops, and Ptarmigan. In remembrance of John Fielder's many contributions to preserving Wilderness, the annual photo contest has been named in his honor.​ The winner is announced at the Annual Meeting/Party in late September.
