And The Chaco Summertime Z Contest Winner is....

Doug Becker! Doug's Chaco Z tan was enough to win without controversy. I'm sure Chaco is proud to call you one of the family. Garnering 5 first place votes from the 7 judges he ran away with the contest. Doug will receive a new pair of Chaco's and $25 to spend at Backcountry.com

Also receiving first place votes were Rob Story and Anneka Door.

And for the Runner Up, winning $25 at Backcountry.com is....Kelsey Smith! Kelsey's Chaco Z tan was the product of a summer in Uganda. From the photo below it looks like she picked up some good foot grime as well.


Kelsey won by a slim margin. She received 3 votes for Runner Up while Wendi Chang received 2 votes and Rob Story and Doug Becker each receiving 1 vote.

A big shout out to Chaco for their support of this contest and to all those that entered. Each person that sent in a photo got a 20% off discount code to Backcountry.com as my way of saying "thanks" for being part of the Backcountry.com community.

Given the success of this contest we'll be hosting another photo contest next month so stay tuned. In the meantime, have some great adventures and may the Z be with you.

Chaco "Summertime Z" Photo Contest Update

The Chaco Summertime Z photo contest is heating up. We've seen almost a dozen photo submissions and with less than a week to go I suspect there are more than a few people out there who are going through image files.

The contest closes at midnight (Mountain Standard Time) on Monday October 22 so be sure to make the deadline by having the photos in the Backcountry Horde inbox.

Get the e-mail address and all the info on the Chaco contest page.

From the inbox comes an interesting photo and e-mail from one of the contest entrants.

Backcountry,
So, I went to Northern Uganda this summer to work in a hospital that has been affected by a civil war. This picture was taken on top of our beat up bus that we took on a safari. I didn't even know about the contest at the time, and just thought that my feet looked wicked awesome with my tan from the chacos. A friend told me about the contest when I got back! I dont know what information I need to include, so I'll just put the basics...
