After a very successful inaugural year in 2007, Red Bull Illume is back in 2010! Red Bull has put this together to showcase the world’s most outstanding adventure sports images, as well as celebrate the passion, thrilling lifestyle and culture behind the shots. The photographers that brave the planet’s harshest terrains to freeze those precious moments in time will be honored.
A cool video has been posted to the Illume site to help build the excitement for this year's competition. Check it out here. Included in the video is my winning photo from 2007 of Chris Sharma.
On January 26th, I will be in Las Vegas on behalf of Red Bull at the Caramel Lounge in the Bellagio to promote Illume . If you have have any interest in photos, music, dancing and drinks, you will not want to miss this!
Illume is a great opportunity for photographers.The submissions deadline is February 28, 2010. Click here for all the details.
*UPDATE* – Shortly after posting the above, I boarded a plane, having just spent 4 weeks in Argentina. On assignment for Red Bull, I documented David Lama's attempt to free climb Cerro Torre. Now on my way back to Tahoe, I sit in an airport in Buenos Aires, drinking a Red Bull, getting ready for the next 20 hours of travel. This stuff is great!
