Are you a skate photographer who's never been
published and can't wait to break through? Now's your chance: Push.ca, in partnership with Vans, Color Magazine and
Clubmumble.com, is searching for the best emerging skateboard photographers
across Canada.
Photographers who've never been published in a
skate magazine are invited to submit their best skate shots to Push.ca. The
winner of the grand prize will be flown to Toronto for a private shoot with a
Vans pro team skater, you'll also win $500 in Vans gear, and have your shot
exhibited in the Push.ca First Photos Show among images selected from
professional skate photographers. Plus, the winning shot will appear in an
upcoming issue of Color Magazine.
All you have to do is register as a member of Push (or log in if you're already
a registered user), then click over to the Photo
section on Push.ca/skateboarding.
From there, click on upload and post your photo on Push.
In addition to the overall winner, there will be five
secondary prizes for the best shots in the following categories: Subject
Matter, Best Quality, Overall Impact, Light and Colour, and Timing/Catch of
Trick. The best shots will also appear in the Push.ca First Photos Show in
Toronto (date and details coming soon), and the photographers who shot them
will win a prize pack from Vans valued at $500. You can submit up to 10 photos
(maximum 2 per week) until November 9th.
Photos will be judged by Brian Caissie (photo editor, Concrete Magazine), Dylan
Doubt (photo editor, Color Magazine) and Bob Kronbauer (founder,
ClubMumble.com).
Use our Facebook link to promote your shot, and
encourage people to rate your photo and leave comments. We'll be promoting all
of the entries in our First Photos blog on Push.ca, and we'll have plenty of
great interviews, tips and articles from our judges and other photographers to
keep you hyped.
