The lands we love need our voices. Speak up.
AlpinFilm 2026 (January 16–17, online and at the Center for the Arts) celebrates adventure, stewardship, and the future of our public lands. This year, AlpinFilm is proud to partner with the Wyoming Outdoor Council, which is leading the Six-Word Love Letters project as a simple, shared way to speak up for the places that move us. Alongside films, panels, and workshops, this year’s festival centers our love for the places that move us, and the simple actions we can take to protect them. One of those actions is telling a short, honest story.
What Is a Six-Word Love Letter?
A six-word love letter is exactly what it sounds like: six words that capture how you feel about a place you care about. It can be quiet or bold. Personal or playful. Poetic or plain. What matters is that it’s yours.
How to Participate
- Write a six-word love letter to your favorite public lands or waters.
- Post it on Instagram with a photo from that place.
- Use the hashtags #LoveTheLand and #NotForSale.
Posts shared by 4:00 PM on Thursday, January 15 may be featured during AlpinFilm’s opening pre-rolls on January 16–17 in Jackson Hole.
The most popular entry will win $1,000.
Examples
My feet carry me far away.
These beautiful lands. Not for sale.
Mother Earth. Father Sky. Lucky me.
So small below your stone sentinels.
Public lands shape who we are and how we move through the world. Speaking up together helps keep them protected, accessible, and cared for.
Six words is a start.
