Sorry this took so long to get up, I received about 275 entries (individual photos) into this year's 2014 Photo Contest. I spent all day yesterday judging photos and almost called a draw in multiple categories...the submissions were phenomenal, some of the best I've seen. The gear we're giving away this year is pretty ridiculous, seriously, its well over $1,000!
If you need a little refresher, heres how the photo contest worked...
