At long last, the time as come to announce the winners of the summer 2018 contributor awards! This is our chance to honor the contributor community that makes up the heart of Outdoor Project. We are what we are in large part because of the great people who adventure into the outdoors to document the places that they love and showcase them for others to enjoy.

Outdoor Project published more than 700 adventures last summer, bringing together outdoor destinations from around the globe that we've never featured before. Among them are the first-class photography and the spirit of adventure that we've come to expect from our contributor network. Thank you all for everything that you do.

Without further delay, here are your award winners for the summer of 2018!
