jon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Alright folks it is FINALLY here, the voting for the 2013 Photo Contest presented to you by American Alpine Institute. We apologize for how long it took to get the final voting going, the cc.com corporate jet has been grounded by some stupid battery problem and it made it hard to fly in all the volunteer judges. Slightly different this year. Voting is done in each category. Also, you vote for TWO photos/videos. Why two? Because it ends up being a more decisive vote. Plus there are a ton of awesome photos. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos. It is very hard to distill thing down to the best photos. Unfortunately we had to disqualify several really great photos because the rules were not followed regarding posting the images here. In addition to the prizes listed below we are going to be doing some random giveaways as well. Voting ENDS Noon on May 10, 2013, at which point the results will be revealed and winners announced. Ok here are the finalists and the voting, please go to the end of each thread and vote for your two favorites. The Categories Rab Alpine Category -- Rab Xenon Jacket^ AAI Cragging Category -- $330 AAI Gift Cert* AAI Scenic Category -- $330 AAI Gift Cert* Mountain Gear Skiing & Boarding Category -- Mountain Gear Backcountry Essentials Avy Package valued at $340 Seattle Bouldering Project Bouldering Category -- 6 month pass to Seattle Bouldering Project valued at $432 Rab Ice Category -- Rab Infinity Jacket^ Humor Category -- $120 BackcountryGear.com + (2) 1 Month SBP passes AAI Video Category -- $330 AAI Gift Cert* Edited May 14, 2013 by jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Wow, there's some really strong work in there, what a delight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just a formatting thought for the future; the photos are numbered a little close together and I can see how someone could think a photo was numbered for the one above vs below it and end up not voting for the one they intended. Perhaps next year put a gap between photos so it is more clear what number is associated its which photo. Carry on with the spectacular work gentlemen!

pup_on_the_mountain Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 put a gap between photos so it is more clear what number is associated its which photo. Or, better yet, make it possible to vote by clicking on the picture itself (or by selecting the box next to it, rather than at the bottom). I'm guessing it won't be too much extra work for the forum G(m)ods. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I forgot to post this announcement a couple days ago. We've extended the voting until Noon on May 15 to give a little more time for people to vote. Edited May 12, 2013 by jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicMtnBoy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Is there gonna be a "Photo Contest Winners" thread or something or do I have to scroll to the 10th page of each category, check the winner graph, then go back and find that number pic in the big list? I'm lazy. . . ;-) Great pics all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
