If you have taken or will be taking a picture of a winter snowscape with your Mavic drone (MP, MPP, MA or M2), and you would like to enter it into our contest, please submit your photo in this thread. Please enter only ONE picture per member.

1. This contest is for Mavicpilots forum members only
2. It is not a paid gig, so you don’t have to be Part 107 to enter.
3. You are the rights holder for the entry. We will use it only for contest purposes.
4. Any photos not reflective of the contest topic are subject to removal by the Admin or Mods

After the entry period has been closed, the judges, made up of sponsors, approved vendors and staff, will pick the top 6 entries, and forum members will pick the top 3 as winners based on poll results. The 6 finalists entries will be shown on a new thread including a poll, allowing members to vote on their favorite entry, and comment on why they chose that particular one.

Prizes:

Prizes so far are:

Amazing view from the valley of Saalbach/Hinterglemm in Austria. A popular ski area, offering also slopes illuminated at night for skiers. Lights from Hinterglemm are reflecting in the upcoming snow clouds.
