It may look this website is sponsored by Red Bull, but i can assure you it’s not! 
The thing is Red Bull is really one of the best on promoting their actions on internet media. Others could take a real example from them!
Red Bull Illume has opened up the photo banks to the 2010 Image Quest. Visitors to www.redbullillume.com can now get a glimpse of the world’s best action and adventure sports photography through the website’s new image gallery.
The 4,337 photographers who registered for the contest can now really size up the competition. As each photo is geo-tagged, it is also possible to see where athletes and photographers are travelling to find fresh snow powder, incredible climbs, huge surf swells and where the craziest jumps are around the world today.
Image Quest 2007
The first edition of the Image Quest In 2007 resulted in 2000 established and amateur photographers from over 90 different countries submitting more than 7,500 images. They were judged by a panel of expert photo editors such as Kari Stein of Sports Illustrated, Paul Sanders of The Times and Nick Hamilton of Transworld Snowboarding. The subsequent exhibition tour showcased the 50 finalist images in exceptional outdoor venues across North America, e.g. on the slopes of Aspen or Huntington Beach Pier.
