We invite past and present guests to share those memories with us. Submit your best shots for a chance to win credit toward your next adventure and to see your work featured with us.

The Prizes

We’re looking for the shots that capture the “Western Spirit.” Whether it’s the scenery, nature, the camp life, or the camaraderie.

1st Place: Free Seat on a Western Spirit Trip

2nd Place: $1,000 Trip Credit

3rd Place: $500 Trip Credit

Bonus: Even if you don’t win a grand prize, Western Spirit often selects additional images for use on our website, social media, or in our annual catalog. You will have full bragging rights that your photo made the cut.

How to Enter

Who can enter: Any past Western Spirit guest.

Limits: You may submit up to 10 photos per trip.

Format: Photos must be in high-resolution format.

Deadline: Submissions for the 2026 contest must be received by December 31, 2026.

Winners Announced: Early 2027

What We’re Looking For

• The Epic View: Those “middle of nowhere” landscapes that take your breath away.
• Life at Camp: Dutch oven dinners, fireside stories, and the magic of a backcountry campsite.
• The Grit: Muddy jerseys, steep climbs, and the satisfaction of a hard ride.
• The Guides: Our “ambassadors of fun” in action—helping with a flat or cooking up a trailside feast.
• Your #1: The picture you can’t wait to share with your group chat.

Pro Tip: We love photos that include smiling people! While landscapes are beautiful, photos that show the experience of riding and camping with Western Spirit are the most likely to win.
