Action Sports Cartel

Are you a skate photographer who's never been published and can't wait to break through? Now's your chance: Push.ca, in partnership with Vans, Color Magazine and Clubmumble.com, is searching for the best emerging skateboard photographers across Canada.

Photographers who've never been published in a skate magazine are invited to submit their best skate shots to Push.ca. The winner of the grand prize will be flown to Toronto for a private shoot with a Vans pro team skater, you'll also win $500 in Vans gear, and have your shot exhibited in the Push.ca First Photos Show among images selected from professional skate photographers. Plus, the winning shot will appear in an upcoming issue of Color Magazine.

All you have to do is register as a member of Push (or log in if you're already a registered user), then click over to the Photo section onPush.ca/skateboarding. From there, click on upload and post your photo on Push.

In addition to the overall winner, there will be five secondary prizes for the best shots in the following categories: Subject Matter, Best Quality, Overall Impact, Light and Colour, and Timing/Catch of Trick. The best shots will also appear in the Push.ca First Photos Show in Toronto (date and details coming soon), and the photographers who shot them will win a prize pack from Vans valued at $500. You can submit up to 10 photos (maximum 2 per week) until November 9^th.

Photos will be judged by Brian Caissie (photo editor, Concrete Magazine), Dylan Doubt (photo editor, Color Magazine) and Bob Kronbauer (founder, ClubMumble.com).
