Great PowderGuide photo contest! Win a place for you and your team in the Arc'teryx King of Dolomites photo contest (18-21.02.2016) and other prizes from Arc'teryx.
PowderGuide is once again giving you the opportunity to compete with other photographers this winter and share your fun in the snow in the "Pic of the Week". The main prize is participation in the King of Dolomites photo competition for you and your team, including equipment from Arc'teryx.
How do I take part?
Weekly participation: To take part, you have to upload your photo or photos of the week to the photo feature by Thursday night, 11.59 pm. Pictures uploaded later will be considered in the following week.
Announcement of the winners (and contacting) will take place on Fridays afterwards in the forum.
First deadline: Thursday, December 10, 2015. December 2015 (all images uploaded by then count towards the first week).
Last week of judging: Up to and including February 4, 2016.
What's up for grabs?
Lots of fame and glory. The weekly winners will receive various PowderGuide prizes as well as a 60-euro voucher at Bergzeit.de.
The overall winner will travel to San Martino di Castrozza with two team riders of their choice for the King of Dolomites photo competition. Ski pass, accommodation and meals for 3 days are included in the prize. You will also each receive a jacket from Arc'teryx (subject to availability). After the competition, the winner will report on their participation in the King of Dolomites. The runner-up will receive an Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody and the third place winner an Arc'teryx Duffle Bag (50 liters).
Weekly prizes: Each photo that wins a weekly prize will be awarded: There will be a brand new version of the PowderGuide Tirol guide, as well as a product worth €60 (RRP; non-discounted items) from our partner store Bergzeit.de and one of the new PowderGuide King of Dolomites stainless steel drinking bottles.
How will be judged?
Each week, one picture of the week will be selected from all entries and declared the weekly winner.
Weekly winners up to and including February 4, 2016 will be collected: The PG editorial team will select the winners of the main prizes from the three participants who can claim the most weekly prizes. The respective winners will be published in the PG forum and we will contact you via your PG account (your email address should therefore work).
Criteria for the image evaluation: Photographic quality of the image is the most important factor: image composition, drama, image statement and technical realization play a role. The total number of your uploaded images and the number of "Likes" are also taken into account.
Topicality: Photos that are up to date on a weekly basis receive bonus points (exif data in case of doubt).
Small print: Full-time photographers are excluded from participation. Part-time photographers will be judged more strictly than hobby photographers. The "Pic of the Week" photos will be determined by the PowderGuide photo editorial team after the best possible and fairest possible evaluation. The PG editorial team is excluded from participation. The same applies to legal action. By participating, the photographer agrees to grant PG the non-exclusive rights of use for editorial use as part of the photo contest, as well as for the PowderGuide Facebook and Instagram account. In case of technical problems, you can upload the photo to the forum in the corresponding topic or send it by email if necessary.
