Venture Photo Contest Winner

VENTURE ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER WINNER OF “THE MOUNTAIN LIFE” PHOTO CONTEST

September Photo Winner Amy Flygare

Silverton, CO - October 6, 2008 - The winner of Venture Snowboards’ September photo contest is Amy Flygare of Benson, Utah.

Amy’s photo won the judges’ approval instantly.  “She looks so graceful,” said one.  “She’s pointing it like she means business,” commented another.  Others approved of the use of shadow and light, and the awesome backcountry setting.  The judges’ only complaint was that Amy didn’t share the location of her photo - presumably to keep them from poaching her secret spot!  Amy will be rewarded with a Venture t-shirt and pint glass.  Her photo will also be entered into the second tier grand prize competition, giving her a one in seven chance of winning a snowboard.

Check out Amy’s winning photo, as well as three others that received honorable mention, on Venture’s blog: http://www.venturesnowboards.blogspot.com

This month’s contest brought in more than 20 entries from all over North America, including submissions from New Hampshire, Montana, and British Columbia.  If you missed out on this round, you still have six more chances to ge a shot at the grand prize - a brand spanking new Venture board.  Monthly competitions will be held from now until March 2009, with winners entered into a second tier competition that will be judged in early April.  The contest theme is “The Mountain Life” and anything goes - lifestyle, action, scenic, humor…as long as it reflects life in the mountains.  For details on how to enter, visit the Venture Snowboards website: http://www.venturesnowboards.com.
