    Year end photo/trip report exposition

    There are so many great photos and/or trip reports in the various ski regions. Wouldn't it be great if votes could be cast for the top photos and/or TRs and then one specially pinned thread could show the 'best of' at the end of ski season?

    This wouldn't be photo contest like the ones in the PHOTO/VIDEO TALK forum. Instead it would be a place to honor the best-of-the-best that were submitted as-it-happened in the general ski regional forums.

    Idea for collective consideration. Not sure how this would be administrated but where there's a will, there's a way.

    Well, since there haven't been thousands of replies from maggots saying that this is a terrible idea, it must be a win!

    In addition, why not bundle the winners into a year-end edition print magazine? A few ski magazines have dropped off ... so there has to be a small but viable market for a community contest year-end exposition of the best of the best-of from each region.

    Organic - check.
    Collectable - check.
    Fun - check.
    Inspiring - check.
    Community - check.
    Regional - check.

    The proceeds from the magazine sale could be distributed to 2 or 3 charities. The winnings would be distributed from within the Canada-America locally-made ethically- produced selections (skis from a local ski maker, CDB cream, gloves, hats, free tickets, trips, whatever). Imagine winning a heli trip and then the heli trip provider would also get the great coverage from your next trip report, from a known producer of good ski photos.

    Just some ideas that could go along with the main idea of featuring the best of the year in a special way. Perhaps this is too late to be talking about it this year. Next year is only months away.

    not going to lie... actually a pretty cool idea.

    you can get magazines printed on the cheap on blurb and they manage payment/shipping/ordering. you just upload the PDF. All you'd have to do is have each one be uploaded as an 8.5 x 11 Pdf them merge em all together and throw a cover on the front.
