The “Make it Possible” contest winner will receive one PocketWizard MiniTT1®, two FlexTT5®'s and one AC3 ZoneController for either Canon or Nikon plus a PocketWizard G-Wiz Trunk bag and a 1-year SmugMug Pro Subscription and photo website customization. First- and second-place runner-ups will also be awarded prizes.

“We are very excited to launch our first ever International PocketWizard Photo Contest and we look forward to the submissions we’ll receive from photographers of all levels who understand the benefit of shooting with off the camera flash.
