A few months back we had various threads on aerial photographs/videos, etc.... and a competition was mentioned. I think this would be a great idea, and would certainly give us an opportunity to share some of our best images, and generate a little interest for the sport in Ireland generally.
I'm proposing that during the summer we go about our business and perhaps in November we will shortlist a number of images and put it to a public vote for the most interesting image.
Maybe if there is sufficient interest well get a 'PPG Ireland' Calendar done with some of the best shots and of course the winning shot.
The theme for the photos is pretty open- just 'Paramotoring and Ireland', interpretation can be anything... but the rules will be-
- Photos can only be submitted by PPG Ireland members
- Photos must be the original work of the PPG Ireland member
- Subject matter must be in some way related to the sport and Ireland
- Photos must be recent, date and time information must be included with the entry.
- Members can submit as many pictures as they wish
- Image definition to be at least 5MP resolution
- Images should be accompanied by a brief description about the flight/subject matter
- Semifinalists shortlists will be defined by an impartial judge (non- PPG Ireland affiliated- to be decided)
- Public internet vote will decide the winner

Prize/s will be modest - to be determined, but i'll see if i can get some freebees or something lined up. The pride being best PPG Ireland photographer would surely be enough though....

Please email entries to me and i'll collate them together onto a webpage linked to this site.

Any questions, please email me.
I'll set up a new forum folder specifically for the competition soon.
