Smile 2016 Calendar contest winners!

Thanks for helping us pick the Horizons Unlimited Photo Contest winners for the 2016 HU Calendar! Below are the 13 winning pics in no particular order.

Jason Spafford's pic of Lisa Morris in Purmamarca, Atacama Desert, wins the Grand Prize of a Touratech Compañero riding suit!

Claus Possberg's pic of the northern lights in Iceland wins the 2nd Prize - an Individual Annual Medical & Security Membership (up to 45 days per trip) from Global Rescue, value of $655.

Alberto Lara's pic of Naomi Tweddle in Huaraz, Peru, wins the 3nd Prize of a Suspension Makeover from Progressive Suspension.

The photos will be used in the Horizons Unlimited calendar, and we will share the profits with the photographers. All Winners will also get a free calendar, and 1 year Gold Member status on the HUBB!

As we said when we started the voting, in order to get a good balance of photographers and photos of various categories in the calendar, we are responsible for the final selections, taking into account votes/likes/shares on all the 'social' platforms. It was a very difficult task, but we think the final results will make an awesome calendar! You can pre-order the 2016 Calendar at a special price until May 31.

Thanks to all the photographers for participating and to all the folks who liked and shared their favorite pics! The contest for the 2017 Calendar is open now!

Susan & Grant

Wow is what I have to say, we are grateful for making the cut again for this year amidst some of the coolest photos we have seen.

Congrats to all other photographers/travellers, well earned to be here in the front line of appreciation.

Cheers Andi

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
