Are you a daredevil who loves participating in adventure sports and you blame the adrenaline rush for every crazy-adventure thing you do?
If your answer to the above question is yes, then you're in for a treat.
The Red Bull Illume is the world's premier action and adventure sports photography competition which is held in every three years. The purpose of this competition is to showcase the most exciting and creative action sports photography by photographers all over the world. The Image Quest was first held in 2007 and this year it's the 3rd edition of this competition.
The submission to this competition was open from December 1st, 2012 and was closed on April 30th, 2013. Thousands of entries were sent from around the world and 50 images in 10 different categories (which are: Close Up, Energy, Experimental, Illumination, Lifestyle by Leica, New Creativity,Playground, Sequence, Spirit, and Wings) have been selected as the finalist images. On the judging panel are some renowned international photographers and photo-editors.
At the end of August, the 50 finalists will be invited to attend a grand ceremony which would be held in Hong Kong where the winners would be declared. But the competition doesn't ends over there, after the winners have been announced these 50 finalist images would then travel around the world as a unique and stand-alone photo exhibition.
If you go through this year's top 250 entries you'll be not only awe-inspired but would also be forced to unleash the adventure spirit inside of you. Here are our top 13 most awe-inspiring entries to this competition. Have a look:
