Canyoneering USA Poster photo contest
I want to produce a poster, unfortunately a little too late for
Christmas, but... I'd like to open up submissions to everyone, so
I've decided to have a contest:
1. The theme is "Water, water everywhere".
2. The context is technical canyoneering.
3. Submissions are limited to 3 pictures per person. Submitter must
own the rights to the picture. (Tom may allow certain persons to
submit more than 3 pictures, but no more than 3 images from one
person will be selected as semi-finalists)
4. Winner will be used for one printing of a poster for Canyoneering
USA. Submitter will be paid US$ 200.00 as a prize and for use of
the image for the poster (and related sales activity).
5. Four runner-ups will be awarded a US$ 50.00 gift certificate at
Canyoneering USA.
6. Tom will select 15-20 semi-finalists and put them up for a vote
on the Canyons Yahoo Group. Tom reserves the right to select more
or less semi-finalists.
7. Tom will select the winner from the top five vote getters.
Decision is final.
8. Image must be available in a 2000 x 3000 minimum original pixel
size (or film equivalent). Do not submit images for which
a "printable" size image is not available. Model releases from
recognizable persons are required.
9. Submission: email your best jpeg, longest side 900 pixels, file
size no larger than 600kb to CanyoneeringUSA@
caption, location, photographer'
need to submit a printable version for verification before being
listed for voting.
10. Recognizable Imlay Canyon Gear equipment in the photo scores
brownie points with me, but is not required.
11. All persons in the pictures participating in technical
canyoneering must be wearing a helmet on their head.
12. No illegal activities may be pictured.
13. Submission deadline is Midnight Monday November 26th, in Mt
Carmel UT. Voting will take place from Nov 30th to Dec 7th. Final
winners announced Dec 10th or so.
Thanks in advance for all those participating, as photographer,
model, voter or heckler!
Tom

Howdys.. noticed that the contest has closed and the winners
announced.
http://www.canyonee
Don't want to be too synical and certainly not bitter but..
You gotta admit that the winning photo is pretty funny considering
> 1. The theme is "Water, water everywhere".
Out of all the photos submitted the photo that was voted no.1 shows a
dry abseil into some manky black water.
the 2nd and 3rd are cool for sure and the 4th is super cool..
although i think it a shame that all 4 are sandstone (and 3 in zion?)
canyons... out of all the other photos submitted of all the different
canyon rock types.. seems sandstone might be slightly over reprsented
in the winners, maybe a slight bias in the voting population? ;)
the 5th photo? i supose it has water, but.. what the..?
the 6th is excellent. It represents what canyon photo's are all
about.. you look at it and think, yep.. i wants to go there.
all good photos... but not the ones i would have picked off the
original list.
cheers
