NVE3 Picture Contest Announced

[SmoknTires]

Calling all photographers!

We will be having a best picture contest! Feel free to share your picture on the NVE3 club forums, social media, or email us at admin@driveviper.com. The contest includes any type of photo, whether it's one of beauty, humor, creativity, or whatever! We're looking for the most intriguing photo that sums up our gathering. Our panel of judges, consisting of officers and event volunteers, will judge the submissions. The winner receives a special (and massive) 5 foot wide grommeted event banner!

I'm sure we'll have some cool photos - which we will surely use a few in the magazine as well...

Have fun out there!

Hi guys, we've been receiving some great pix from folks. We'll provide some more time to get the photos as it seems they're coming in faster now given people are getting home. There are those on after-trips so they'll need some more time to get back. We plan on making a final decision on the winning picture by the end of the month. Keep them coming. You're free to post them on this forum, send via social media (facebook/insta) or email our HQ (admin@driveviper.com).

Thanks!

This photo was taken by Jonas Apuya, not Zak Caro. I thought the photo contest submissions had to be your own photographs?

Jonas wins!!

[Herrsss]

Now that's really weird because I confirmed with Zac Friday that it was his picture . . . let me find out what is going on. The pics need to be your own and not somebody else's but I did miss the water mark.

P.S. please disregard if you got the email more than once - I continue to have Outlook issues!

I didn't take the picture. Never said I did. If that DQs me, so be it. I refuse to win by breaking the rules. Please give the prize to someone else...

But I don't ever recall in the rules that the picture had to be taken by your own camera/phone. If I missed that, I apologize. Award it to someone else. No worries here

Simple confusion as to who took the picture versus who the subject was. Our error in not making the rules clear - won't happen again.

All great PICS, those Red Rocks are hard to beat.

original post does mention "your picture" I would think in a photo contest that the pictures you enter are your own not the fact that you're in the picture. If merely being in the picture is the criteria to win, then what about the other 3 vipers in the background? What do they win? Photographers win photo contests not the subject.

Daniel,

The subject car owner did NOT win anything. The photographer (Jonas Apuya) DID win the banner and it's in the mail to his home.

There were only 3 official submissions for the contest so we surfed social media accounts for options. Generally people post their own pictures on their accounts and when I found that one on the subject's account I thought it was his. I spoke to him about it and he verified but we were talking about 2 different things - simple mistake but I corrected it.

Beth, Justin Fujita, one of the guys here from SoCal, sent me this picture after NVE3. I know the contest is long over but I thought he had a great shot of my viper!!
