The 2013 Red Bull Illume Overall Winner, Top 10 category winners, and Top 50 finalists were unveiled August 29 at a special ceremony held in Hong Kong on August 29th. The international photography competition was created to showcase some of the most exciting and creative action sports photography from around the world and then put it on display for a mainstream audience.
The 2013 Red Bull Illume Image Quest is the third edition of the competition, after previous renditions of the competition in 2007 and 2010. A total of 28,257 shots were submitted by 6,417 photographers from 124 countries. The top 50 images will tour the world as a unique illuminated night-time exhibition.
German photographer Lorenz Holder was crowned Overall Winner for his remarkable shot of a snowboarder riding a giant satellite dish. As Overall Winner, Holder received a Leica S camera, a broncolor Move Outdoor kit and Sun-Sniper gear — a prize worth over $40,000 in total. He also won the Experimental category.
“The quality of the images in the Top 50 was amazing, so for me it is a great honor to be voted number one. It’s so unreal. It will take a few days for the news to sink in,” says Holder of the top honors in this year’s contest.

Here’s more from the Red Bull camp on this year’s Illume Image Quest:
“There are talented photographers and then there are gifted photographers,” said Jym Wilson, Senior Photo Editor at USA Today and one of the 50 Red Bull Illume judges. “I saw a lot of talent but also saw some truly gifted photographers. These are not just action photographers but people with great technical and artistic skills.”
Other category winners included Scott Serfas (Illumination), Daniel Vojtìch (New Creativity), Romina Amato (Energy), Chris Burkard (Spirit), Morgan Maassen (Lifestyle by Leica), Jeroen Nieuwhuis (Close Up), Zak Noyle (Sequence) and Samo Vidic (Wings). All category winners walked away with a Leica X2, a broncolor Para 88 P Kit and an assortment of Sun-Sniper gear. The Athletes’ Choice Award, as voted by Red Bull athletes, went to Morgan Maassen for his underwater shot of surfers chatting in-between sets of waves.
The Winner Award Ceremony was a true celebration of action and adventure sports photography with hundreds of leading photographers and editors attending. Highlights from the evening included performances by BMX flatland athletes Viki Gomez and Matthias Dandois and an illuminated dragon dance.
Afterwards the 50 images were unveiled on 6ft x 6ft life-size lightboxes along Hong Kong’s famous Avenue of Stars, where they will remain for the next three weeks as a free public exhibition. Appropriately as a city known for its awesome nocturnal lights, the illuminated exhibition will open at night time only, from 8-11pm from August 30th to September 15th. Red Bull Illume will then go to the U.S. before traveling around the world’s capitals and cultural hubs for the next two years as a unique night-time exhibition.
