Four weeks, 804 photographers, 4060 photographs. Exposure, our new photo competition, has drawn to a close. Over the past month, we sifted through each entry while applying tremendous scrutiny to every photo that had the potential to meet our standard as a winner. In the end, it came down to these five photos in the following categories: Action, Scenic, Abstract, Lifestyle, and People’s Choice.
We hope that the photographs below will only strengthen your connection to the slide.
These decisions were not made lightly. While each category had their own criteria, there was one condition that the photos were required to meet across all categories: they had to inspire us to go snowboarding. We are proud to say that these images meet that obligation with the utmost standing.
Thank you to everyone that participated in Exposure, and congratulations to the winners. It was a humbling experience to witness so much passion for a lifestyle that well all love, and we hope that the photographs below will only strengthen your connection to the slide.
