2012 Catalog Photo Contest
It's that time again, put your shutterbug instincts to the test and show us your work! We’re looking for the best images we can find featuring Co-Motion bicycles and the people who make them go. We want to see smiling faces, athletic determination, a child’s first tandem ride, you on your club ride or out in front of the coffee shop, on your daily bike commute, etc. Be creative, and don’t be afraid to submit photos that you wouldn’t normally see in a catalog (just remember, this is a family show). There are 6 key categories we’re seeking images for:
1. Performance tandems (Speedster, Primera, Roadster)
2. PeriScope Tandems (Scout, Torpedo, Hammerhead, Trident)
3. Touring Bikes (Americano, Nor’Wester Tour, Pangea)
4. Road and ‘Cross Bikes (Espresso, Ristretto, Nor’Wester, Demon)
5.Travel Bikes Espresso Co-Pilot, Speedster Co-Pilot, anything Co-Motion with the Co-Pilot designation)
6. Race Tandems (Supremo, Macchiato, Robusta)
7. Cover photo. This could feature any of the above, or something else. It’s got to be a jaw-dropper, and it’s got to feature a Co-Motion Bicycle.
8. You may have an image of something altogether different. By all means, send it in!
How to Enter
Send your photo to the Co-Motion Photo Contest email address - 2012catalog@co-motion.com with your name, contact info, and photo information. Please make sure the photo is high-resolution for the best printing.
Don't forget to post your photos to Facebook too! Photos receiving the most “likes” will get extra attention, so be sure and express your opinion, Facebook fans. Also bear in mind we love seeing those Co-Motion jerseys, hats, tees, etc. in your photos, so make sure you’re decked out for modeling!
Ultimately, the winning photos will be chosen by Co-Motion’s owners, Dwan Shepard and Dan Vrijmoet, and the winning images will be used in the 2012 Co-Motion Catalog.
Prizes
Winners will be awarded a $200 Co-Motion Store credit, good for any purchase in our online store. Can't find anything in the store to your liking? You can use your prize for anything we sell, including bicycles. The Grand Prize winner (cover photo) gets $500 in Co-Motion Store credit!
Fine Print
When you submit your photo, you are granting us permission to use it for marketing purposes, so be sure and get permission from any photo subjects featured in your image. There are no first second or third places awarded for each category, and we may use more than one image per category or possibly select no winning entry for any of the above categories - we will award all selected images equally. This means that if we do use your photo for the catalog, you have won a prize.
All entries must be submitted to the afore mentioned email by July 22, 2011 for consideration. (2012catalog@co-motion.com) We’ll consider any entry, but preference will be given to digital images of 8 mega-pixels or larger.
If we find an image of yours on the internet and request permission to use it we will happily throw you a little schwag. However, you can only be considered an entrant of the contest and eligible to win if you enter by following the aforementioned entry guidelines.
So, bust out your cameras and get snapping! We look forward to seeing your best shots.

The bicycle shop in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, has a lot of rental bikes. A lot of silver/gray rental bikes. So when you roll into the rack with something extra-long, extra-red and extra-nice, in other words, a custom Co-Motion tandem, it tends to stand out. (Higher-resolution photo available if selected.)
