Open Contest for Great Colorado Images

Did you or someone you know snap an image that captures the spirit of outdoor sports in Colorado? Share it with us. Rocky Mountain Sports magazine has announced its Call for Entries for our first annual Year in Images feature, which will appear in the December issue.

We are looking for fun and compelling high-resolution images shot in 2008 in such sports as running, cycling, triathlon, mountain biking, hiking, adventure racing, rock climbing, paddling, fitness, yoga and snow sports. Although we will focus on local events and adventures, images will also be considered that show Colorado athletes at locations anywhere in the world.

We will select a broad mix of images to run in the feature and will name one shot for an Editors’ Choice Award.

Photographers are asked to submit up to five high-resolution digital images that can print at 4″ by 6″ at 300 dpi or better. If you don’t know how to determine image resolution, remember as a general rule that files which are less than 500 KB in size are too small. Images that are 1 MB or more in size are more likely to qualify.

Please identify the event, location, date and the people in the image and any other information that could be used for a caption. Please identify the photo credit. If a company name is credited, please also name the specific photographer. If you have a website, please include that information as well.

All images that are submitted will be published on a one-time-use basis in our Year in Images feature. Low-resolution versions may run on our website.

Files can be submitted via email to rheaton@rockymountainsports.com or on a CD to:

If you plan to email images, please keep image sizes below 10 MB and send each file in a separate email. If you have any questions about emailing images, please contact rheaton@rockymountainsports.com

Hurry, images must be received no later than November 3, 2008.
