Hi-Tec Announce February Winner Of ‘Inspire Me’ Photography Competition
March 2011 – British outdoor brand Hi-Tec has announced that Bob Small, a sales manager from Stogursey in Somerset, has won its ‘Inspire Me’ photography competition for February.
The competition, which launched in April 2011, aims to find the nation’s favourite outdoor, walking or hiking image. The judges chose Bob’s photo entitled, Sunrise at Hay Tor, due to the contrasting colours of the sun-kissed, dewy grass and the brooding dawn sky, creating a beautifully atmospheric image that captures the rugged beauty of Dartmoor.
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. This 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 February award, Bob said; “I am really happy my image has been chosen by Hi-Tec and others can see the inspiring landscape of Dartmoor.”
He added: “The image was taken as the sun rose and the low rays hit the granite outcrop of Hay Tor. As a keen amateur photographer, I always try and use the best light at dawn or dusk, so the chance to visit this wild Dartmoor feature was too good to miss. I think the resulting image demonstrates the inspirational beauty of the British landscape.”
Helen Durant, Marketing Manager for Hi-Tec, said of the competition, “Outdoor lovers across British Isles have sent many various inspiring photos that really display quite clearly 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/inspiring-uk-walks/ 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.
