The contest is now an annual event, where you can showcase your best
photos, and they can help inspire others to get on the road too. The new design for the website is coming along nicely,
and we have a lot of new stuff in the works - one of them will be using the photos - they will appear randomly in the web
pages, so everyone will get to enjoy almost ALL the photos submitted, not just the winners!

to be in the picture, but it must be obvious that it's a motorcycle trip.
Copyright remains with the photographer, but Horizons Unlimited (HU) requires the right to:
publish the photos on the Horizons Unlimited website as we see fit,
in the Horizons Unlimited Travellers Calendar. If used in the Calendar,
you will receive a portion of the proceeds.
You will always get credit for your photo wherever it's used.
If you are not THE PHOTOGRAPHER - please don't submit it!
