Ion Photo Award - Hood River 2006

ION sponsors the event of the Summer! On the night of August 19th Hood River kite fans gather at the Horse & Hound Pub to clap, hollar & call out their vote to decide the winner of the ION PHOTO AWARD. Up to 20 Photographers (and their team of riders, models, assistants) will have from Dawn till Dusk to capture ION & KITING in the North West- the team that brings us to our knees laughing is sure to walk away with the Viewer's Choice Award of $1,000 plus dollars. Who said they never heard of ION?

The ION PHOTO AWARD is the Iron Chef of Kiting! Photographers assemble a team for a day long photo shoot to capture the spirit of Kiting in the Northwest. But their judges are not high minded professionals, they are Saturday Night Kite Fiends! Teams must keep in mind who will be determining the winner. A few of the Rules: all photos are to be taken from Dawn till Dusk on the 19th, only 3 of the 10 photos can include people not on your team, each team will have 1 minute to present their slide show and at least 50% of the images must feature kiting.

Although many professional Photographers will be participating, it is by no means limited or guaranteed to be an easy win for them. It is all about the team. A fun group of friends will have just as good a chance at impressing the unruly crowd at the ION PHOTO AWARD Slide Show- held at the Horse & Hound Pub at 10pm. Warning: contents may not be suitable for all ages.
