It ’s back ! Can you believe it ’s already been three years since we wrote aboutRed Bull Illume , the world ’s biggest photography competition for action and adventure sports ? ( Rememberthe incredible winner ? ) Beginning in June , Red Bull has been easy leaking its top 250 finalists , and today , we ’re happy to declare that the gallery has been stark ! We just spend the last few hour looking over each double and all we can say is , “ Wow ! ”
Similar to last time , there are ten different family in this contest : come together Up , Creativity , Energy , Experimental , Illumination , Lifestyle , Playground , Sequence , Spirit , and Wings . From tens of thousands of entries , 50 finalists will be announced and invited to attend a grand observance in the metropolis of Hong Kong where the winners will be bring out . Though you ’ll have to wait for August 29 for all that , you’re able to enjoy our top 20 right here . We get laid how each of these is either inspiring ( in terminal figure of travel and extreme sports ) or artistic ( check out the coolheaded shadows and unique perspectives ) !
