Judging Categories:
Human Emotion: This is your chance to let your picture be worth a thousand words. Entries in this category excel at highlighting the joy of triumph, the agony of fear, the seriousness of concentration that the athletes competing or their spectators experience in the Wild Woodlake Mudder. Unique Perspective: Photography allows us to see the world we experience every day in a new way. Entries in this category showcase a captured viewpoint that brings new interest to the composition of the image. Captured Action: The Wild Woodlake Mudder is a challenging photographic environment because your subjects are constantly on the move. Entries for the Captured Action category convey the sense of motion and the excitement of the event. Natural Elements: The scenic community of Woodlake, located on Swift Creek Reservoir, is hosting the Mudder, and brings a great opportunity for photographing the elements, fire, water, wind, and earth. Bring your creativity for entries in this category make use of all the natural elements available on the course and at the event.
