Each contestant may submit a total of 15 photos. The five categories are: Ice/Snow; Mammut (photo with a Mammut product in use); Rock; Bouldering and Lifestyle. Deadline for entries is August 15, 2008. The editors of Rock and Ice will select the winners. The top three finalists will get their photos published in a photo essay featured in issue #174 of Rock and Ice (on newsstands December 1, 2008 – January 15, 2009), and the winner of each category will receive a great Mammut product (see below).

BLAZE JACKET (ice/snow)
When you are going light and fast, you need Mammut’s lightest, technical breathable hard shell. The Blaze Jacket is constructed of GORE-TEX PACLITE in the body and GORE-TEX PRO SHELL in high-wear areas for increased durability. A minimal number of seams further decrease weight, pit-zips with integrated side pockets and an asymmetrical front zip give this minimalist jacket everything you need and nothing you don’t!

INFINITY ROPE (mammut)
A lightweight, low-diameter, yet high performance single rope thanks to Mammut’s top-end finish treatment. The Infinity is the perfect lead line for on-sight and red-point attempts, and tough mountaineering when every gram counts.
