Today we are kicking off a photo contest for the chance to win a newly redesigned Aether Canvas Travel Bag filled with tons of cool summer travel essentials like a Fuji X10 Finepix digital camera, DSPTCH sling strap, and an assortment of Aether summer gear.

Topic
Anyone familiar with us knows we’ve sort of got of a thing for inspirational imagery. (If you’re not, feel free to look around our site.) Good photography has the ability to transport, whether that be to a physical location or to a particular state of mind. And with warm weather in the air we’d like to be transported to a summer state of mind, so we’re asking all of you to share your pictures of summer adventure. What is your idea of a perfect summer trip?  What does summer mean to you?

Submissions 
(June 15th thru July 15th) 
We’ll be taking submissions for a little over a month, up until July 15th. Please email us your name, the title of the image, a brief description, and the picture as an attachment to journal@aetherapparel.com. Please use the subject line SUMMER PHOTO CONTEST. We will only accept one picture per person, so please only send one. Also, this should go without saying, but please only submit your own original photography. (Google has gotten really good at sifting out fraudulent work.)

Finalists and Voting 
After we’ve collected everyone’s submissions, the Aether office will convene to select a list of finalists. Once those finalists have been selected, we will upload their pictures to an album on our Facebook page and ask all of you to vote for your favorite. At the end of two weeks, the photo with the most Likes wins. The winner will be announced the beginning of August.

[Disclaimer: By submitting your photograph to Aether Apparel you are giving us permission to display your photo on our website and social media channels in association with this photo contest. If we have interest in using your photo for anything other than this promotional photo contest we will contact you directly. We reserve the right to disqualify any participant we suspect of submitting fraudulent work or otherwise subverting the selection process.]
