Tamron's third photo contest of 2010 was Summer Rituals. The theme for the contest was to shoot photos that capture the essence of summer: backyard BBQs, lakes, pools, beach, sprinklers, summer camp, fireflies, fireworks, watermelon & more. We received over 900 entries. The Grand Prize Winner had the choice of a Tamron SP AF10-24 F/3.5-4.5 Di-II lens for Canon, Nikon, Pentax or Sony APS-C DSLR ($499 value), a Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 VC Di-II for Canon or Nikon APS-C DSLR ($649 value), a Tamron SP AF60mm F2 Di-II 1:1 Macro lens for Canon, Nikon or Sony APS-C DSLR ($569 value) or a Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 VC Di-II lens for Canon or Nikon APS-C DSLR ($629 value).
