• Gary Perkin - flipper.co.za
• Grant Robinson - grantrobinson.com
• Sam Needham - samneedham.co.uk
• Ryan Worcester
• Tim Koerber - timkoerber.com
These photographers, and the lucky wildcard winner, will rally their chosen athlete teams to embark on three days of intense shooting and editing commencing Saturday, August 8. Slideshows will be handed in by the end of the day Tuesday, August 11. Then on Wednesday, August 12, a massive crowd will experience Deep Summer in Whistler.
The competitors will work in the Whistler Valley and Whistler Mountain Bike Park, competing for Best in Show, a $3500 award judged by the Deep Summer panel, and the Viewer's Choice Award, worth an additional $3500 and bestowed on the photographer who wins the audience and online voting.
Each photographer will be required to shoot three of the Whistler Bike Park's iconic shot locations, forcing photographers to dig deep into the creative well to find a unique twist on old standbys. Prospective competitors can find a little inspiration from the winners of previous years: Ale Di Lullo 2014, Nicholas Teichrob 2013, Rueben Krabbe 2012, Robin O'Neill 2011.
The Deep Summer Photo Challenge will take place under the stars at Whistler Olympic Plaza. Priority seating near the giant HD screens is available for a $5 ticket and the area beyond the ticketed seating is free.
