The Alpine Bank Youth Photography Showcase is open to all Colorado middle and high school students, providing an opportunity to exhibit their photography in a professional gallery setting. Up to 100 student photographs will be selected for a week-long exhibition during Colorado Photography Week. Selected students may also offer their photographs for sale, have their work featured in the online gallery, and be recognized during the Colorado Pro Photographer Showdown.
Because the Youth Photography Showcase is open to students statewide, entries will close once the first 200 eligible submissions have been received.
Each selected student photographer will receive one complimentary ticket (a $35 value) to attend the Colorado Pro Photographer Showdown on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at Fort Lewis College. To claim the complimentary ticket, students must confirm their intent to attend no later than November 17, 2026. Unclaimed tickets will be released for public sale.
Parents, family members, and guests are encouraged to attend the Colorado Pro Photographer Showdown and may purchase tickets separately. Please note that complimentary student ticket holders will be seated in a reserved student section, and accompanying guests will be seated in reserved audience seating.
