RiverGypsies
Photo Contest!

We're looking for pictures for the River Gyspies' Guide to North America - here's your chance to get your photos in the book and WIN!!












Vote For Your Favorite!

It's time for the first photo vote, and we've gotten tons of great photos. We'd like to give a big shout out to the paddlers of the Pacific Northwest, who have really gotten on board and sent in lots of photos of a lot of different streams. We need photos from every region, so keep the photos coming. The winner of this vote will receive the Brushy Mountain product of their choice, as well as being entered into the final drawing for a the Pyranha kayak of their choice whether their picture ends up in the book or not. Good luck to all photographers.

It was really hard choosing which photos made the final 10. We had over 100 great shots submitted, and just because your shot didn't make it on here doesn't mean it won't be in the book, and that you won't be entered to win the kayak. As a side note, we picked these blind without photographer names attached. Congratulations to Steve Arns, who turned out to be the photographer on 3 of the 10 shots we chose!

Browse through the following 10 photos, and vote for your favorite. Each person can only vote once, so make yours count! All photos have been subjected to Leland's color correction and exposure compensation to some degree.

It's not too late to enter!!! We are still accepting submissions. For contest details, CLICK HERE.
