Go ahead and type #stabfullframe into your Instagram search bar, you’ll be greeted with a blue-hued kaleidoscope of posts ranging from abstract textures, dreamy lineups, speed blurs to straight-up high performance action. There are some seriously special moments woven into that 43k-strong feed. Recently, in partnership with our pals at O’Neill, Developing Legends and Turtle Bay Resort, we kicked off a rather enticing competition with a trip to Hawaii on the table for one talented lensman or woman. All they had to do was post a scroll-arresting image, apply the appropriate tags and they were in the running.

Now, if we could we’d award a separate winner for each category; empties, abstract, tubes, et al, then we would, however we only have one spot available in Brian Bielmann’s elite photography workshop. Only the most powerful of frames could be selected, which is hard because photography such a subjective form of expression. Anyway, after spending hours of squinting and debating, we finally narrowed it down to ten. Ladies and gentlemen, here are your finalists:

 

We’ll be announcing the winner of the major event this Friday, the 9th of December. Continue to tag your shots #stabfullframe and @oneillusa to feature in our exclusive gallery and compete for the monthly prize pack from O’Neill.
