Here's a little Carnage Category Promo Vid to help get you motivated to send in an entry as well as some answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about the contest. . .
FAQ
1. What the hell is the 6th Annual HOMEGROWN Photo/Video Contests?
Homegrown is an amateur photo/video contest that seeks to encourage creativity inspired by a lack of resources. Its also a great excuse to get together at the chattooga river and throw a party while showcasing amateur media in a live setting instead of sitting at home watching user submitted content on your computer. There will be am awards presentation, big-screen photo/video viewing, live reggae with CHALWA, and more.
2. How do I know if I'm an amateur?
If you are a paid paddler, photographer, or videographer then you are not an amateur. If you have average camera/computer equipment and are too broke to buy the rights to the music you use in your video, then you are probably an amateur and Homegrown is the right contest for you.
3. Can I submit more than one entry?
Absolutely. There is a $5 entry fee for your first entry, then $2 for each additional entry.
4. Whats up with the entry fee?
The entry fees go towards covering the costs of the show (mainly booze and reggae) plus you get an event Tshirt if you submit an entry.
5. What is the deadline for entries?
Entries must be received no later than midnite august 23.
6. Can I bring my kids?
Things are PG-13 until dark, after dark its rated R or maybe NC-17. So with that being said its really up to you.
7. How do you decide who wins?

8. Do I have to be present to win?

9. Should I bring anything to the show?
It would be advisable to bring camp chairs and rain gear.
10. What else do I need to know?

Rambling's of a Rambler
The summer is here and i have been hittin' that dusty ol' trail pretty hard. Most of my ramblings have been limited to Idaho and Montana, with a couple other states thrown in the mix for good measure. I have a pretty sweet work schedule which allows for ample amounts of no responsibility, I have been doing some kayaking and a whole bunch of life living. Here is a quick account and a few pictures from the summer as far as i have seen it.
Teva Mtn Games:
Turns out the Homesteak Creek race actually starts before the opening ceremonies in Vail so if you plan on attending that event you have to be on top of your shit. I got flooded out of my camp site in Vail and had to relocate in the middle of the night, somebody was nice enough to leave their trailer open for me to crash in.
Turns out Idaho has some really amazing wilderness areas and an incredible amount of drainage's fed by peaks above 11 and 12 thousand feet. Check out some pictures from an unnamed peak near the East Fork of the Salmon in Custer County Idaho.
Raft Guides on the Payettes have a pretty sweet housing deal! One of the outfitters bought a piece of land along the N.F of the Payette to act as guide housing. So you can pitch your tent for the summer drive up the road and put on the N.F and take out at your "house". I met up with some Boone Town kidz in Banks and spent the forth of July weekend paddling the Payettes. We put on with a big crew of Banks locals for an after work run down the Staircase, it's a road side run so one of the shuttlers was stopping at the rapids to shoot bottle rockets off at us. I had a hard time getting my shit together to take any photos while in Banks, but i can tell you for sure that no picture can accurately represent the size and stature of the N.F Payette 
Check out Big Falls on the "Canyon" section of the S.F payette
A Nice view of the Sawtooth Mountains in Custer County
Keep it irie
