Annual

Grand Tour

Photo Contest

 

The Grand Tour Photo Contest is

open to all club members, and it runs

all year long.

The contest consists of a list of up

to 15 items, and the idea is to

photograph your motorcycle,

(or part of it) with the item(s) on

the list, and put them together into

an album. 

The item list and specific

details are set up by the hosting

club members, who are also

responsible for judging the books.

 

The main idea is to get out there,

ride, have fun, and take photos.

2006 Grand Tour Photo Contest

(Winners to be Announced at the Awards Banquet)

Welcome to the Grand Tour 2006 Photo Contest

Originality, creativity, and this year, solving the hidden puzzle can earn extra merit, credit and points towards winning the coveted

and highly acclaimed Grand Tour Oscar, or as more commonly known, the first place trophy. Once again, for this tour, there is a

$5.00 entry fee and the following rules apply: There must be at least a portion or a part of your motorcycle in the photo submitted.

From looking at previous tours, there are a lot of novel and fun ways this can be done. Now onto THE LIST we go.

This year the list consists of sixteen items. Some will be easy to find, and others not so easy. Some are expressed as a concept,

and all are open to your interpretation. There is NO minimum number of photos which have to be submitted and NO maximum which

can be submitted, but all photos for the Grand Tour 2006 have to be taken this year. We hope that you will enjoy this grand tour, and

that it will help to inspire you to  RIDE YOUR MOTORCYCLE, TAKE PICTURES & HAVE FUN!

As of now, there has not been a finalized date for submitting your Grand Tour album for judging. After our clubs winter meeting

dates have been set, the turn in date will be decided. As always, if there are any questions, please feel free to contact us in person,

by phone, or e-mail, and last of all, we would like to say thanks for helping to make the Grand Tour 2006 a safe, fun, and successful

event for our Great Club
