Winner of the Transworld "Your Turn Photo Contest"


So this actually happened several weeks ago, but i figured I would wait till I could confirm things with Transworld and High Cascade Snowboard Camp. I have been talking to the Associate Photo Editor of Transworld Snowboarding in the past few weeks, seeing if this is actually true and happening.
The breakdown of the contest goes as follows: Anybody and everybody would submit their own "Season's Best" photos onto the TWS website, and this would continue for several months until the people at TWS would pick a winner and show some honorable mentions. I submitted two photos, two of those photos were posted on this blog, one was of Brad Hesson doing a bs nosepress in the streets of toronto. The other was of Spencer Kaleb doing a huge air in the Downlow contest.
Clearly they preferred the shot of Brad, considering it won the whole contest! There was some tough competition that i was up against, but luckily and thankfully i came out on top. Never would I have thought I could win a photo contest put on by transworld snowboarding. There are many many good photographers out there and im glad to be considered one of them.
I will be heading to HCSC August 5-10 to take part in their summer photo workshop week, where i will be working and shooting along some highly acclaimed snowboard photographers and other people who are deep in the snowboard industry. Should be an amazing experience and I cant wait to take part in it. Its a fantastic opportunity to do something big in the snowboard photography world.
Here is a link to the winning page on Transworld to check out the winning shot and the others who i were considered with.
