23. 8. 2015 - Roman Ordelt

The traditional photo-competition was announced at the occasion of the 44th Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2014. The awards were donated by the firms RALLY MODELS – Antonín Babík, JNK Studio Zlín – production and distribution of videotapes, PARAMO a.s., MOGUL oils and the firm ALITRON CZ, s.r.o. prepared for the winner an annual subscription of the moto-focused magazine RALLY. The winner of the main prize is Hungarian Gergély Makai from Budapest who retained the prize again winning in 2013.

Auto Club Barum Zlín in cooperation with ZLIN PRESS production agency made this photo-competition in digital photography available for the professional photoreportes and the photo amateurs as well, both were competing in the same category. Members of the jury were Miloslav Regner (Clerk of the Course Barum Czech Rally Zlín), Roman Ordelt (ZLIN PRESS production), Ing. Jan Regner (Deputy of the Course Clerk) and members of the international jury decided to award three financial prizes in the digital category and to award additional five acknowledgements. "For the third time in a row the main prize is not staying in the Czech Republic when the winner Mr. Makai from Hungary retained the prize. This shows the level of popularity this competition has in Europe and at the same time the quality of the competing photos is getting higher every single year. It is clear that the interest of the digital category has increased not only in our small country but in Europe as well. We received many photos from the foreign photographers. Almost two hundred competing photographers prove that rally sport touched many people. Our international jury with many celebrities from the rally community agreed on the photo-competition's fine level," said Miloslav Regner, chairman of the jury and Clerk of the Course Barum Czech Rally Zlín.

Members of the international jury were Paul Beaton (Great Britain, co-driver), Chris Biewer (Germany, journalist), Gabriel Borowy (Poland, journalist), Martina Daňhelová-Jerhotová (Czech Republic, driver), Kornél Lukács (Hungary, driver), Joseph McGonigle (Ireland, driver), Siim Plangi (Estonia, driver), Bartek Rubczewski (Poland, rally engineer), Sanita Smiltin (Latvia, team manager), Jörg Ullmann (Germany, photographer), Benjamin A. Ward (Norway, photographer) and Jindřiška Žáková (Czech Republic, co-driver).

It is very satisfying that the photo-competition is very popular among the rally fans and the photos' quality is rising. In digital photography 172 photographers sent amazing 685 photos! Aside from the three prizes the jury awarded five acknowledgements.
