Cross Country Facebook photo competition winner

Matjaz Klemencic's Cross Country / Facebook competition-winning photograph, taken at the 2002 European hang gliding championships in Slovenia.
Matjaz Klemencic, a hang glider pilot from Tolmin, Slovenia, took top prize in the Cross County magazine Facebook photo competition with this stunning onboard shot from the 2002 European hang gliding championships in Slovenia.
Behind him in second place came David Bengtsson with a beautiful winter speed riding shot, and third a dreamy XC onboard image, boot included, of Dave White’s first ever XC from Manilla, Australia.
Matjaz’s winning image will be printed in the next issue of Cross Country magazine too.
Matjaz won a pair of Blazewear deluxe heated gloves and David and Dave will each get a copy of the AcroTwins award winning movie Lift_.
The next photo competition and the prizes will be announced on Cross Country magazine’s Facebook page later this week. If you’ve got images that you think could win please join our Facebook page and post them in the Fans’ Photos section.
HOW CROSS COUNTRY FACEBOOK PHOTO COMPS WORK
Our photo comps follow a very simple, time-served format. Just like American Idol and X-Factor, we narrow down the field to the shots that we think are the best. Then we repost the finalists’ images and you, the public, vote for the ones you like the best. To vote all you have to do is press the ‘like’ button below the image and your vote is counted.
