Red Bull's 2013 Illume Image Quest contest drew entries from around the world. Even though it was a couple years back, these photos are from some of the world’s best action photographers. While we’re looking forward to the fourth Illume contest in 2016, these amazing shots will have to tide us over.
From Red Bull, "Illume is the world’s premier international photography competition dedicated to the world of action and adventure sports. Its purpose is to showcase the most exciting and creative action sports photography on the planet as art and bring the public into the world of action sports."
The Image Quest 2013 was the 3rd edition of the competition. 50 images were selected from tens of thousands of submissions. Click through to check out some of Active Junky’s favorites:
