SHOOTOUT CHALLENGE
Thanks to the many talented photographers attending MARS, who participated and contributed hundreds of images for this years "Shootout Challenge".
These images were created between 5 PM, Sunday, May 7, and Noon on Wednesday, May 10.
The judges had a tough time selecting the best in each category, so congratulations to all the winners!
In addition to having their work announced and shown at the Wrap Party on Thursday, May 11th, winners were awarded a blue ribbon, $50 in cash, and a $50 gift certificate to PhotoFlashDrives.com.
There was also a Sponsor's Choice winner as part of the TAMRON Throwdown.
TAMRON reps judged entries that were created using a TAMRON lens, within the same time period. Their winning choice was awarded a NEW TAMRON lens. This year, TAMRON noted there were so many beautiful images, they had to add TWO additional categories of 2nd place, and 3rd place (honorable mention) with TWO additional prizes of $200 OFF any TAMRON lens.
Winning images will also be published here on the MARS website for an entire year, and potentially featured on the cover of next years convention program!
