Protest hosts TAC photo challenge

European boardwear brand Protest announced yesterday the extension of its main sponsorship of 6Star TTR World Tour event The Oakley Arctic Challenge (TAC). An important part of the sponsorship is the innovation of a new photo contest. All photographers who have attended TAC are invited to submit their best action and lifestyle shots. Great prizes, arts and prestige at stake!

The best 8 photos will be displayed at The Arctic Challenge restaurant and party location in downtown Oslo during the TAC week. Renowned European street artist will transform 2 winning photographs into pop-art pieces as the riding is happening in the arena.

One of the artist is Eelco van den Berg, who has received a D&AD Silver award nomination for his work, in additions to many other exhibitions. Check out his webpage at www.eelcovandenberg.com

The jury consist of:
Jury chairman Odd Harald Hauge, chairman of the board at The Arctic Challenge
Nick Hamilton, photo editor Transworld snowboarding
Danny Burrows, chief Editor Onboard snowboarding magazine
Jody Koenders, team manager Protest boardwear

In addition to 5000 EUROs prize money for the winners, Protest and TAC are offering flights, hotel and food program for all nominated candidates. All photographers that have attending TAC since the conception in 1999 can submit pictures. To avoid work overload for the jury, photographers can only submit one photo in each category (action & lifestyle). Out of 8 nominees, two winning photographs will be decided at a final jury meeting at TAC.

Photographers can submit pictures by e-mailing [email protected]. Deadline is December 15, but the earlier you do your job the easier you make the jury's job... ttrworldtour.com
