CONCORSO DI FOTOGRAFIA
ACTION SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY IS ILLUMINATED IN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION
RED BULL ILLUME IMAGE QUEST HONORS THE ART OF SPIRIT, GRIT AND EDGY PERFECTION
Santa Monica, Calif. (April 18, 2006) ñ Commitment, passion and daring are all qualities necessary to
persevere in action and adventure sports ñ and, they are the required elements to effectively capture the
action on film. Beginning today, Red Bull Illume Image Quest will spotlight the individual behind the
camera, praising the triumphs achieved in action and adventure sports photography.
Red Bull Illume Image Quest 2006 is the first-ever international photography competition that celebrates
the world of action and adventure sports, inviting both professional and talented emerging photographers
to participate. The quest will honor the unique expression and skill of the photographer, as well as the
spirit of the action sports community. The top 50 finalists will have their work exhibited in larger-than-
life outdoor venues across the globe, providing the most dramatic compilation of action and adventure
sports imagery ever assembled. The ëImage of the Yearí winner will be commissioned for the photo shoot
of a lifetime with a Red Bull athlete of the winnerís choice.
A skilled panel of image experts from the action sports world, lifestyle publications, and representatives
from the design and photography industry will act as contest judges. Photo editors from National
Geographic Adventure, Surfer Magazine, Menís Journal, The Skateboard Mag., Womenís Health,
Transworld Surf, Powder, Sports Illustrated, Bike, and others are among the 50 specialized individuals
who will decide which photos stand above the rest.
Photography plays a crucial role in action sports. Dave Reddick, creative director for Powder and Bike
Magazines, speaks about the emotional power imagery has in these unique sports, ìThe most memorable
images are the ones that capture the raw moments. It could be the silhouette of a skier carrying alpine
equipment in a moody environment, or a few mud covered mountain bikers after a grueling ride. Photos
speak to your core about why you love this sport so much.î
Images can be submitted through www.redbullillume.com, now through July 15, 2006. The quest will
culminate in a picture perfect exhibition opening in November, unveiling the 50 finalists and kicking off
the world-wide tour of the images.
Categories for submission include:
Wings - Capturing the point in a performance in which the athlete takes flight, catches air, free falls,
soars, and/or jumps.
Playground - Showcasing the landscapes, locations, platforms and environments in which athletes
play.
New Creativity - Revealing a unique angle, a visual idea, a different format, light and flash effects:

Energy - Demonstrating the force that powers an action and shows the energy, speed and strength
