Our recent photo contest to find a cover shot for the upcoming 2nd edition of the Bike Touring Survival Guide received an outstanding response: over 700 photos were entered!
With so many great photographs, it was very difficult to shortlist just 10 photos. We ended up picking 12 favourites. There were many superb photos beyond those shortlisted but, for various reasons, they weren’t quite suitable as cover shots.
The shortlisted photos will now be judged by two bike-touring photographers, Paul Jeurissen and Amaya Williams. The winning entry will be announced on Friday, March 15th.
Without further delay, here are the 12 shortlisted photos (in no particular order). Clicking on the photos will take you to the image on Flickr.
#1. Early Winter In China by Cyclingthe360.com
#2. On Tour In Chile by Garths On Tour
#4. Land of volcanoes, sandy paths and salty salars by Gerard Castellà
#5. Back On The Road by Solidream
#6. Laguna Tuyaito, Paso Sico, Argentina by Piciclisti
#7. Cañon inesperado by Alvaro & Alicia
#8. On the way to Uspallata, Mendoza, Argentina by Ana Carolina Vivian
#9. Kluane lake, Yukon (on the Alaska Highway) by Lorelyruss
#10. Near Passu by Sloths On Wheels
#11. Descending From The Atlas Mountains by Leave Only Treadmarks
#12. Magical road near Skuru by Vellowallah
