2021 Year in Sport Photo Contest

December 08, 2021

2021
Year in Sport Photo Contest

Your best photos of the year could win you a Canon PowerShot.

Throughout all the stops and starts of the year, there have been so many bright spots to be celebrated. It might not have been the year any of us planned but we sure deserve to look back and give ourselves some kudos – to celebrate every one-off trail adventure that kept you coming back for more, every personal best that inspired the next and the long-awaited return to in-person races with the community.

This year’s photo contest we’re inviting you to do that – to take a look back through your albums and show us the joyful moments that shined the brightest.

Whether they were taken two meters from your door or 2000 miles from home we want to see your best photos.

Submissions are open between December 9, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Winners will be announced on our Instagram starting on Jan 31, 2022. You can enter a maximum of one photo per category. The categories are:

Portrait

From a mouth full of dirt to the post-workout zombie stare, sport leaves its mark on our faces. Show us the photos that captured sport up close and personal this year.

Off-Road

Mud. Dirt. Trail. Sand. Gravel. Grass. Snow. The softer, the messier and the further off the beaten track, the better. Show us where you went to escape this year.

Pavement

From ascending beautiful mountain switchbacks to pounding the sidewalk in pursuit of a PR we all know the feeling of testing our limits on pavement. Show us where the roads took you this year.
