That's right folks, awards season is upon us. With each summer and winter season passing at Outdoor Project, we round out the Contributor Rewards Program by recognizing the talented OP Contributor community - those individuals who have helped to build Outdoor Project and who have trudged those extra miles, stayed out longer to capture that perfect photograph, and who have generally gone above and beyond in storytelling and content creation on our platform.

Winter 17/18 was another unforgettable season at Outdoor Project. Both new and veteran contributors alike created 750 adventures ranging from southern border country river canyon runs to glacier climbs high above British Columbia's fjords, and everything in between. Distilled from that breadth of adventure guides, we're thrilled to announce the Winter 17/18  Contributor Awards Winners. Congratulations to all, and thank you to the OP Contributor community for sharing your deeply inspiring outdoor endeavors.

Last but not least, a huge thanks to our sponsors, MSR, KAVU and Zeal Optics who make awards like these a possibility.
