Firing Squad Champions Battle: Final Round

By • Jan 25th, 2011 • Category: 2011 Champions Battle, Latest, Photo Battle

Well, it all comes down to this. Three Champions, battling it out, head to head, for the most glory we’ve offered in the Firing Squad, ever. At the end of this battle, one photographer will walk away with the grand prize: a session at the High Cascade Photo Workshop at Mt. Hood (August 5-10) and a GoPro® HD Helmet HERO™ Camera. As an added bonus, during their trip to Oregon, YoBeat will also take them out to a steak dinner at the legendary Acropolis, and Tim Zimmerman may, or may not be there. Party Time Nate definitely will though. Anyway, your votes will decide which photographer wins it all, so choose wisely! THE POLLS WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT ON JANUARY 31, 2011.

Welcome to week two of four of the 2011 Firing Squad Champions Battle. Over the past 12 months, eight photos have survived the drama, trash talk and voting gauntlet to become champions.

The winner of this four-week battle royale will receive the grand prize: a session at the High Cascade Photo Workshop at Mt. Hood (August 5-10) and a GoPro® HD Helmet HERO™ Camera. This week, there will be two winners. The photo with the most votes will receive a bonus $150 gift certificate, good for anything at Buysnow.com, but the top two photos will continue on to the final two-week battle against the top skate photo from last week’s battle. We’ve already determined these photos are good, now it’s just a matter of deciding which is the best. You hold the power, so vote!
