3rd Annual Bicycle Travel Photo Contest is Now Open!


Adventure Cycling invites you to enter our 3rd Annual Bicycle Travel Photo Contest. This contest has brought in some truly amazing submissions over the past two years, including the winner above, and we can't wait to see the inspiration we find this year!

We are again looking for the photo that captures the beauty and wonder of your bicycle-touring adventures, both past and present. We are especially interested in images that showcase the wide range of bike-touring experiences: road and dirt riding, rural and urban settings, scenery, people, and the emotions.

How to Enter
To enter up to five (5) images, upload your photo(s) to Adventure Cycling?s Contests Flickr? group and tag them with Adventure11. (Not familiar with Flickr? Find out more about this easy way to enter.)

Or, if you prefer, you may use our Photo Contest Web Form to upload up to five (5) images for consideration in the contest. Entrants who attempt to enter more than five photos through multiple entries will be disqualified from the competition.

Be sure to review the full rules before entering. Entries accepted through November 30th, 2011.

The winning images will be printed in the February 2012 issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine. The first place winner will also receive a two-year membership with Adventure Cycling and a $100 gift certificate for our Cyclosource store.

Don't forget to check out the winners from 2009 and 2010 for a little preview of what is to come!
