Epic Photo Competition: Stage 3

· By Press Office · 9 comments

On each day of the Absa Cape Epic, the team of skilled photographers create spectacular images for us to enjoy. Bike Hub will be holding a competition to recognise their hard work and give you the chance to win a signed copy of your favourite photograph.

Take a look at the selection of photographs from the Absa Cape Epic Stage 3 and vote for your favourite to go into the finals.

In the fairness of voting, the photographers will remain anonymous until the voting period has closed.

How it works

  • Every day each photographer will submit their favourite shot with a short note explaining its context.
  • Each day’s winning photograph will go through to the “finals” on Wednesday, March 29.
  • You will then get an opportunity to vote for the overall winner, who will get a R10 000 prize.
  • The result will be announced on Monday, April 3, and voters who chose the winning picture will go into a lucky draw for a signed and framed version of the photograph.

Not far off that at times! Incredibly hot, dry and dusty over the last few days near Greyton.

 

Today at least it's cooler, and will be far greener as the move into Elgin.

While photo 1 is not a shot of the action, it certainly is very striking.
