Adventure Cycling invites you to enter your most stunning photos — highlighting the beauty, adventure, and inspiration of bicycle travel — in our 1st Annual Bicycle Travel Photo Contest.

We're looking for beautiful photography representing the diversity and spirit of bike touring. Your original digital images, capturing of all aspects of bike travel, are eligible for the competition.

We are especially interested in images that showcase the wide range of bike-touring experiences: road and dirt riding, rural and urban settings, scenery, people, and the emotions.

The winner's image will be printed in the March 2010 issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine — reaching over 50,000 people worldwide.
The winner's image will be featured on Adventure Cycling’s website, adventurecycling.org, which is visited by more than a million people annually.

HOW TO ENTER
To enter one or more images, upload your photo(s) to Adventure Cycling’s Contests Flickr™ group and tag them with Adventure09. Not familiar with Flickr? Find our more about this easy way to enter.

Or, if you prefer, you can email each photo with a brief description of the where and when of the trip, send with the subject of Adventure09.
