The competition is open to everyone, and the theme is broad yet simple:
CLIMBING IN THE MONTAGU AREA
Photos can be of anything and everything related to climbing in Montagu, the routes we climb, the equipment we use (on location), the scenery we encounter when climbing, even pictures of plants and animals at the crag are welcome.
Since this is our first ever photography competition there is no date limit on the photos – you can dig through your archives for classic photos of yesteryear’s climbing adventures. Please only submit photos of yourself or photos you have personally taken.
Participants can submit up to THREE entries. The submissions will be judged by a panel composed of David Webster, Ed February and Brenda Marx.
Entries will be awarded points based on their thematic value, aesthetics, originality, emotional content (the wow factor!) and technical execution.
The highest scoring entry will be awarded the prize:
2 nights for 2 people at Rainbow Glen.
Terms and conditions:
- Photos can be submitted from today until Sunday 15th September 2024.
- Submissions are to be made by email to david@powerbond.co.za
