Hi-Tec Announce September Winner Of ‘Inspire Me’ Photography Competition

October 2011 – British outdoor brand Hi-Tec has announced that Geoff Lowe from Surrey has won its ‘Inspire Me’ photography competition for September.

The competition, which launched in April, aims to find the nation’s favourite outdoor, walking or hiking image.  The judges chose Geoff’s photo titled, Defy Gravity... Climb Mountains, due to the breathtaking yet brooding landscape being tamed by the brightly coloured climber.   

Each month a Hi-Tec judging panel will choose their favourite photograph - with the lucky winner receiving a top of the range pair of Hi-Tec walking boots. Next April, all 12 winning entries will go head to head in a bid to find the most inspiring picture of the year – with the winner heading off on a fantastic HF Holiday family walking trip worth over £1000.

Upon winning the second month’s award, Geoff said, "I have been inspired by all the amazing images on the Hi-Tec website and I hope my photograph inspires others to put on their hiking boots and go out and walk, hike and climb the beautiful mountains of the UK."

Helen Durant, Marketing Manager for Hi-Tec, said of the competition, “Outdoor lovers across the British Isles have sent lots of inspiring photos that really display what a beautiful country we live in! Hi-Tec is a proud British Outdoor and Sports brand with a heritage in producing some of the best walking boots for the entire family – and we’re encouraging people to take full advantage of the country’s brilliant walking routes by sending in their favourite images.”

To enter the competition, entrants just need to visit www.hi-tec.com/uk to upload their image, and there is no limit to the number of entries that can be submitted.  All entries will appear on the Hi-Tec website and Facebook page.
