Nile Kayaking Festival - Photo Competition...

For the last few years we've been running a photo competition at every kayak festival here on the Nile. The competition is in memory of Ben Holland - a great friend of ours who was an amazing photographer and lived here on the banks of the NIle, but sadly passed away a few years ago.

Even though the festival itself had almost no funding this year, the photo competition had a cash prize of $200 - donated very graciously by Darryl Rurka - the winner from a few years ago.

Anyone could enter 3 photo's which were then put into anonymous folders for impartial judging. In all 11 people entered, here's the top 5.

-The Winner, Emily Wall's photo of Quintin from WCKA throwing a backstab-

-2nd, Will Clark's photo, the end of the Boda Boda X-

-3rd, Maddy Leslie's shot - Hassan on the wave and Charles cheering from the bank-

-4th, Will Clark's shot, Julien the Frenchman - one handed airscrew!!-

-5th, Emery from WCKA's shot, Charles at the freestyle competition-

Sweet, I'll put some more shots from the freestyle competition up soon..
