It has been an exhaustive process and some extremely tough decisions have been made by our team of 50 judges. But the votes are now in, all judging is complete — and we have an overall winner and 50 finalists.
They will not be announced until the end of August at the official Red Bull Illume Winner Award event in Hong Kong.
However, over the next five weeks, we are going to publish the images that made the top 250. Starting Monday June 24th, we will publish 10 random images every weekday on our new 2013 gallery.
Of course, the finalists and overall winner will be among them, but their identity will remain a closely guarded secret until the Winner Award event.
Until then, the next five weeks offers an exciting chance to see and judge for yourselves the best action and adventure sports photos from the 2013 Red Bull Illume.
The judging is complete!
