Thank you to everyone for entering the 2015 Snowboarding Photography Contest.
The winners will be announced soon.
Hey photographers!
We will be announcing the winners this coming week.
We are pretty much there, and the judges will be reaching their final decision by Friday, October 5th. We apologise for the delay. There were a lot of great photos so it’s taken some time.
We are looking forward to announcing the winners!
Winners announced
We would like to thank all of you for entering the 2015 Snowboarding Photography Contest. Unfortunately, there can only be one winner, and that photographer is: Finnegan Laver! All the judges felt Finnegan displayed thoughtful composition, effective editing/grading, great use of light, and thoughtful captures. Congratulations, Finnegan!
Second Place goes to: Jake. The judges were stoked with your photos, and some feedback for improvement would be: occasionally pull back from the action in order to capture it fully—as the rider isn’t always in the optimum position in the photos.
Third Place goes to: NicSnow. There was a great variety of photos to choose from, and the top 10 shots were all very good. Some feedback for improvement would be: aim for consistency in quality rather than quantity (be more selective), consider the composition with greater detail, and give more thought to the editing process.
Congratulations to the winners and all those who entered. You should all be encouraged by your efforts. Keep shooting and we hope to see you back next year!
Winners, please email promo(at)boardworld.com.au and we will get you sorted!
Thought I’d write up a little post to give a massive thanks to Boardworld, Rome Snowboards Australia and Transfer Snowboard Magazine for making this competition possible and allowing a keen community of snowboard photographers to showcase their work over the course of the season. I was honestly blown away by the quality of content that everyone produced and the inspiration that everyone drew from each others work. A big congratulations to Jake and Nic for their impressive portfolios; you guys were always posting great photos and I have a huge amount of admiration for the photographic abilities of both of you. I feel incredibly overwhelmed to be presented with 1st place and again must give a massive thanks to all the sponsors, contributors and judges for making this a reality. Hope to see you all out there getting some turns and shooting next season!
