BESTARD Award 2022 'within the ‘Luca Memorial Contest 2022’.

An internal Bestard Mountain Boots team picks by their own criteria which are the BEST PHOTOS among the resulting finalists in Luca Memorial Contest 2022.
The one winner photo will be awarded the ‘BESTARD Award 2022’ consisting of the best sellers of the brand:
.

🔹CANYON GUIDE high-cut
🔹WILDWATER PRO mid-cut
💵 pack valued at approx. 440USD (407EUR)
.
The CANYON GUIDE – already a classic model designed for swift water activities. Its stability, ruggedness, low weight, confort, durability, built in gravel-gater etc. has made it a favourite within the international canyonering community, not the least for tough and demanding activities such as expeditions to remote and complicated canyons including long approach marches and jungle treks; for sea- and mountain rescue teams; subacuatic caving etc.
.
The WILDWATER PRO is a new very exciting mid-cut boot for activities such as canyoneering, backrafting, swift water kayaking, caving etc. Its special construction with one fix and one removable footbed allows for use with normal socks for the approach, and with neoprene socks after removing the footbed.
.
Founded in 1940, BESTARD (https://bestard.com) is a small, specialized family company that has grown and evolved to an internationally recognized manufacturer of technical, high quality mountain footwear. It is now selling in more than 30 countries around the world, and is one of the few companies in this field still manufacturing most of their boots in their own factory in Mallorca, Spain.

BESTARD Award 2022 'within the ‘Luca Memorial Contest 2022’.

It has been very difficult to select only 5 among these 101 magnificent photos.
👉🏻We considered:
- the visual impact they produce, making us feel inside them and being able to convey the beauty of the place and the strength of extreme sports.
- photographic aspects, such as framing and good exposure since they are difficult photographs to take: complex media, busy and risky situations.
- darkness, taken in low light situations,which makes them very special.
.
Regarding the values that Bestard represents, any of these photographs would represent us as manufacturers of footwear for outdoor terrain and a company made up of mountain activities lovers,any natural space reflected in these photographs is related to our core values.
.
In addition,our philosophy of self-overcoming,continuous improvement,research & vision of the future are reflected in the selected images,since we share a desire for discovery,effort to improve and to be able to face new challenges.
More importantly,canyoning&caving are sports that are practiced in cohesive groups of friends&family that want to achieve their goals,one of the fundamental pillars of our company.

WINNER:

BESTARD Award 2022 'within the ‘Luca Memorial Contest 2022’.

.
💥The BESTARD AWARD goes to: Nº00201🏆Oliver Chao Fuster (SPAIN)!
The grandiosity of nature,cathedrals of rock&water that make people tiny,overwhelming our hearts. It is difficult to take a picture that is capable of representing such large spaces and allowing us to admire wild nature. An image difficult to capture so clean due to the projected water from the waterfall.
.
🏅 VERY HONORABLE MENTIONS !!:
.
Nº00249 Trekking Adventure (COSTA RICA)
Great flow and spectacular waterfall,take the photo at the perfect moment showing the athlete in action.
.
Nº01654 Alvaro Herrero López-Beltrán (SPAIN)
Light&darkness in perfect union,"flying" towards the abysses of the planet,a very interesting image on a technical level since it is very difficult to balance light&darkness and not show burned or very dark spaces.
.
Nº00514 Lorenzo Rossato (ITALY)
Nature sculpted by water where you can see the entire route of the canyon, difficult to take due to the low light.
.
Nº02461 Steven Moore (AUSTRALIA)
Cozy environment "floating" among so much beauty,one of the most dangerous sports and the taking of images very difficult due to visibility,difficulty in handling the camera underwater and framing.
.
👏🏻From Bestard we want to offer our most sincere congratulations and thanks to all the participants in this contest for their contributions,effort and impressive activities, and in particular to the nominated photos!

    <<OUTEX💬>>

    We congratulates all participants!
    The quality and scope of the photos is tremendous!, and it was very difficult to narrow it down….let alone select a preference.
    OUTEX teams in Europe and USA are impressed and torn!
    Given the pandemic and our geographical locations, team members were able after some iterations to narrow down the selection to a consensual choice:
    .
    We now proceed to announce the images that the OUTEX jury has chosen as the three best:
    .
    🥇#1 OUTEX WINNER, Photo of the Year 2021
    🥇Xabier Garcia (SPAIN)
    Congratulations!
    “Between a Rock & a Hard Place”: An image that elicited much emotional reactions from our staff!
    this image seemed to capture so many attributes of canyoning: adventure, skill, knowledge, perseverance, teamwork, humanity, & beauty.
    While there are elements of photographic integrity that depict framing, composition, depth of field, shutter speed, and focus, the image ultimately illustrates humanity against the beauty, thrills, and challenges of nature at a particular point in time that’s metaphorical to what photography means in all of our lives.
    .
    .
    🥈Number 2!, Honorable Mention!!
    🥈Matthias Holzinger (SWITZERLAND)
    Congratulations!
    Amazing juxtaposition of elements coming together; water, rock, gravity, seemed like a great metaphor for the sport of canyoning.
    The framing and composition help create the magical illusion of walking on the rainbow, while capturing the backdrop against which the feat seems even more amazing.
    .
    .
    🥉Number 3!, Honorable Mention!!
    🥉Guillermo Sánchez (SPAIN)
    Congratulations!
    The photo captures much of the essence of canyoning, not to mention the complexities of photographing it in the process.
    Masterfully negotiating the elements, while maintaining depth of field, the backlight, and giving an unique perspective on the thrills & challenges of the sport.
