2009 MSC Photo Contest
Entry Fee:
FREE!!!! That’s right nada! All you have to do is go to Pinkbike.com, set up a profile and start uploading to the MSC photo gallery.
Categories:
-Gravity
-includes downhill, dual slalom and 4x
-Endurance
-Lifestyle
-hanging out at the pit, spectators, chilling’ in your hotel or at a restaurant, anything to do with racing where you aren’t actually racing.
-Photoshop
-this is for all your photo chop lovers out there. Get crazy with it. Turn your best action shot in to a digital work of art.
The first three categories should have minimal to zero photo touch up. Common curves and or contrast are acceptable, along with minor color adjustment. If you are fixing for open sky illumination that is ok but if you are trying to color match flashes, ambient light, sunlight, etc you should have thought about that before pushing down the shutter button. Also you should have minimal to NO cropping from the original to the submitted photo. The idea is to capture the image correctly in the camera. Just because we can fix everything on a computer doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get the correct exposure.
Submissions:
-Images should be no smaller than 72dpi 6”x9”
-Image title should be formatted in the following manner and placed in the description section:
photographer’s first initial and last name_race name(G=gravity, E=endurance, L=lifestyle, P=photoshop)
example: dbalet_angelfireG_filenumber
-Also please include in the photo description: “2009 MSC Photo Contest”
-Please do not place watermarks directly over the action of the photo. It is hard to judge a photo with a watermark going across the rider. If you want to copyright your photo do so on the bottom right side of the photo and include in the description.
-Please limit five photos per race per category. That is a total of 20 images per race.
Layout:
After each MSC race, go to Pinkbike.com and download your submissions to the MSC gallery.
Contest is open to any none professional photographer. If you make money taking photos you are out, sorry. The contest will run until September 21st 11:59pm, one week after the Fall Classic. You don’t have to submit after each race, but your chances of winning won’t be to good.
The idea is to base the contest on community judging. You like a certain shot in the gallery? Leave a comment, and give some kudos. Once the contest closes, the top 10 images of each category will move on to the finals, which would be judged by Devon Balet, Brian Riepe with Mountain Flyer, Karl Burkat with Pinkbike.com, and Sarah Rawley with Big Foot Productions. The top ten winners would be announced and displayed on both mountainflyer.com and pinkbike.com. If you shot has got the fire for print, you may see your photo in Mountain Flyer Magazine.
-Top ten photographers will be asked to send the full resolution file of the final image. If we feel it is necessary you may also be asked to send original image straight from the camera. The idea is to push people to capture great images, not create them in photoshop.
- From each race we will choose one photo to be featured on the home page of racemsc.com. Rooly is going to throw down some rad eye wear to each featured photo winner. You get until the Friday following the race to submit to consideration.
