Megan Niklasen’s 10-mile hike into Glacier National Park in October resulted in an award-winning photo of Iceberg Lake, first place in the 14th annual Picture Wild Montana contest.
Submissions are being taken for the 14th annual Picture Wild Montana photo contest, with prizes offered for the best photos taken on public lands across the state.
HELENA, Mont.- A local photographer takes first place in a popular photo contest, but explains why the pictures mean so much more and support a bigger cause. The Montana Wilderness Association has announced Kevin League s Quiet Contemplations at Holland Lake as the 2020 Picture Wild Montana first place winner.Â
Out of 600 pictures, his candid shot captures on a summer family vacation at dusk reigned supreme. The photo shows his wife, Cedar, taking in the views. You can easily notice trees, a waterfall, and plenty of rocks. There s even a couple canoeing on the lake in the distance.

This year s contest theme was Joy of the Wild, showing people enjoying the vast outdoor scenery Montana is best known for. League says it s an honor to know his pictures will be used to raise money for public lands.Â
