Action Sport/Lifestyle Competition
Features World's Best Shooters in Showdown for $10,000 Purse
Whistler is gearing up for a clash of the titans, when five
of the world's best lifestyle and action sports photographers
compete in the tenth annual Pro Photographer Showdown .
Chosen from a stellar showing of international submissions,
the finalists for the tenth annual Showdown, hail from Norway,
Colorado, California, and Vancouver BC.
The five selected photographers will be flown to Whistler for
a gala presentation on Wednesday April 18, 2007, lured by the
bright lights of the Festival, the industry's preeminent celebration
of action and lifestyle photography and a $10,000 prize purse.
At the Pro Photographer Showdown, the most dynamic moments in
action sports are captured and mounted, trophy-style, for an
appreciative 2000-strong crowd in a series of self-curated 9
minute multimedia presentations.
The “Best of Show” designation conferred at the renowned photography
expose will see the winner join an alumni that includes Kevin
Zacher, Eric Berger and Aaron Chang, who will judge the Showdown
alongside Whistler's “King of Light” Paul Morrison, and long-time
host of the Pro Photographer Search, writer and creative mastermind
Leslie Anthony.
You will not want to miss this monumental night of photographic
poetry at its best!
