Featuring film screenings, guest speakers, readings, seminars and book signings, the Festival offers a wide spectrum of experiences for the mountain film and book-loving audience. As a key program of Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, the Book Competition is an internationally recognized literary competition that celebrates mountain literature in all its forms.

Prizes will be awarded in each of the following categories:

  • Adventure Travel: Non-fiction books with a theme of travel to, and exploration of, remote and/or rugged landscapes and their cultures.
  • Mountain Fiction & Poetry: Includes fiction and poetry books with a focus on mountain topics. Creative narratives about climbing and mountaineering, exploration and mountain culture are acceptable.
  • Guidebook: Non-fiction books dealing with physical activities in mountain environments; including hiking, climbing, mountaineering and “how-to” books.

This category accepts articles that have been published in print or digitally.
  • Environmental Literature (New for 2022): Includes books that pertain to the environment, specifically related to flora, wildlife, conservation and climate change. Scholastic research and academic papers/texts will not be accepted.

Awards
