Princeton Tec is a group administrator Princeton Tec says:

So, after weeks of laboring over some killer "Lights On Bikes" images - more than 300 to be precise - we have finally chosen the winners of our first Princeton Tec: Got Lights On Bikes photo contest.

Below are the winners with links to their images. Prizes from our sponsors are listed for each winner as well, and a representative from these companies will contact you with prize details.

Big high-fives go out to everyone who submitted images that really captured the culture and community around biking - street or trail. And, the site will continue to live, so if you've got a cool shot post it. Keep your ear to the ground for our next photo contest too!

Have not heard anything yet here, too.

Doesn't anyone else wonder a bit about the photo that was picked best overall? Alan, by far, submitted the best batch of photos for this contest....that's my opinion. Alan deserves the 'best overall' photographer award. However, the photo that was picked 'vest overall' was not Alan's best entry. I know, questioning judged events is kinda taboo, but look at this:

This is the winning photo. Compared to Alan's photos below this one looks a little washed out and lacks the composition and crispness of his others....you be the judge:

High Voltage by EcoVelo


no placing for this one
Down Low by EcoVelo


no placing for this one
Country Bike with Poppies by EcoVelo


no placing for this one
Fiery Sunset by EcoVelo


This photo in particular, could have won 'best of' in every category offered (except best action). This is the best image submitted for this contest. If anyone can provide an image entered in this contest that is more deserving of winning best overall, this is it. Why didn't this one win top three in ANY category??
The Visitation by EcoVelo


Is it because prints of all of the above except the actual winning photo are available for sale on Alan's web site?

They never sent me my prize despite follow-up emails to Princeton Tec and Ergon. I was so excited having never won anything bike-related before. Kinda sucks and a real shame from a PR point of view as I like both their products :-(

We are real sorry that you have not received your prize. To be honest - we are not sure why or what's up. We are chasing up Ergon, in the meantime, look for an email in your inbox from us.
Thanks!

Thank you very much Princeton Tec for stepping in with an EOS Bike light as an alternative prize, it's very much appreciated. Has been put to good use already on my late night bombing-runs through the local golf course on the way home from work :-)

Ergon have told me they would only ship to the USA or Canada :-(
