With more than $8,000 in prizes for the winning entries, the Alliance
invites all members of the public to submit their best images of biking
and walking to the 2011 People Powered Movement Photo Contest.
The contest aims to both celebrate the beauty and energy of active
transportation and continue to build an online library of high-quality
images that can be used by bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations
across North America.
In 2009, more than 2,000 photographs were submitted in the first Alliance photo contest. Today marks the launch of the 2011 contest.
Once again, categories include biking, walking, and advocates in
action. New in 2011, the People Powered Movement Photo Contest invites
photos in additional categories, including:
- Women
- Equity / Building an Inclusive Movement
- Open Streets (Ciclovias)
From August 1st to September 30th, individuals can submit up to 20
photo entries via the contest website. From October 1st to 31st, public
voting will determine the finalists in each category. A panel of expert
and advocate judges from across the continent will then determine the
winners, to be announced in March 2012.
The overall grand prize is an all-expenses-paid, 10-day bike trip to Tuscany, Italy, from VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations. Additional prizes include:
- A new bicycle from PUBLIC Bikes
- Bags from Ortlieb
- Lights from Planet Bike
- Gear from Fyxation
- Helmets from Bern
- Socks and subscriptions from Bicycle Times
All winning photos also will be featured in the March 2012 issue of Momentum magazine.
