2011 Photo Of The Year Contest!

by DerbyLife December 19, 2011 - 12:51am

Note: nominations are now closed. Due to the high volume of submissions, we are working hard at prepping the first poll, but it could not be launched first thing this morning. Watch this space later - poll coming soon!

With the advent of DerbyLife, a few things about some regular DNN and fiveonfive annual festivities have changed. Usually Photo Of The Year is a category in the DNN Readers Poll. This year, DerbyLife is hosting the Photo Of The Year competition, as well as the 2011 Photo Annual (a DNN/fiveonfive co-production), online.

Nominate your favorite photographer's shot (or your own) below, and please include a link to the photograph, and the photographer's name if possible. Nominations will be taken from today until December 25th, and then the poll will be posted December 26th. A winner will be declared January 2nd, 2011. The contest is restricted to photographs taken in the calendar year 2011. Multiple submissions per photographer are welcomed.

Along with the honor and the glory of being the photog who snapped the roller derby photo of the year, you will also be the recipient of an exciting new prize. The 2011 Photo Of The Year winner will receive a generous chunk of advertising on DNN and DerbyLife, to be used at the time of his or her choosing, for the project of his or her choosing, in 2012. (Think Axle Adams' book No Mercy, or Joe Rollerfan's roller derby calendar).

All nominations will be considered for the Photo Annual, selected by the editors of DNN, fiveonfive and DerbyLife, which will be hosted online here in January. There are so many talented photographers in our community, it's nice to recognize more than one in another format. We look forward to showcasing the best captured moments of the year in the Photo Annual.

While we have your attention, we could use your help. We have a giant spreadsheet of photographers who have granted us permission to use their work on our websites. However, we know there are dozens more of you who haven't given us your details. We'd love to use your work on DerbyLife and DNN.

If you haven't contacted us, or it has been a long time since you have, please email [email protected]. We're interested in photographers who want to give us permission to use their work on the site, so please send us your preferred contact information, how you like to be credited, and links to where we can find your best work!

Are you photography obsessed? Interested in volunteering to help support DerbyLife? We are currently looking for a new Photo Editor. If you're interested, please contact [email protected].

Just like in the DNN Reader's Poll, please look through the thread before nominating to avoid duplicates, and support nominations in one thread instead of 5. Let the nominations begin, in the comments below!

Well, someone's got to be the first one, so.. here you go. Here's the link to the photo, http://www.flickr.com/photos/punkmarko/6124519250/in/set-72157627616966930 - and the name of the photographer is Marko Niemelä (yeah, that would be me).

Can't wait to see more nominees!

I was curious if you're going to split the pictures into categories. Gotham had three categories for their photo awards: Jammer, Pack, and Ambiance. I thought that was great way to highlight more entries, and also compare apples to apples in terms of photo content. Just a thought, and of course, y'all smart people probably had already figured out a cunning plan!

Got a few shots, I hope you like in the tournament "Nordic Light" in Malmo, Sweden, Sept. 3rd-4th. First bout ever, so that was a fun and something of learning curve :)

Distinct lack of UK submissions I see. At the risk of being extreamly immodest, here's a few of my better efforts from this year:

Merby! Southern Discomfort vs Toulouse Quad Guards: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjnewton/6247404875/in/set-72157627901552718
LRG vs Rocky Mountain: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjnewton/6036292415/in/set-72157627418993924/

Anarchy in the UK: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjnewton/5611390532/in/set-72157626352613839 (Not the best quality, but a favourite of mine!)
