Got any badass POV footage of yourself skiing or snowboarding? Then you have a chance to win Snowbird’s Local Hero POV Video Contest. If you don’t, then charge up those camera batteries and wipe off the lens because as soon and the snow flies, you’ll want to start shooting footage to edit together and send off before the December 31st deadline.
Seriously, do it now, because the prize for this contest is worth competing for. According to Snowbird, The Grand Prize winner in each category will receive a trip for two to Snowbird for five days of skiing or riding, four nights of lodging at The Cliff Lodge, access to an early Tram ride one morning, a day of helicopter skiing for one with Wasatch Powderbird Guides, a $500 gift card for one from The North Face, and two free subscriptions to Powder magazine and Snowboarder magazine.
Is that not enough to edit your sick footy together for? The contest will have two categories, one for skiers and the other for snowboarders. Videos do not have to be filmed at Snowbird. They may be filmed anywhere on the planet, at any time in history. Videos must be POV format and shorter than three minutes, with a theme of skiing or snowboarding.
Videos must be submitted to Snowbird’s Local Hero Facebook page on or before December 31, 2011 at 5 p.m. EST. The page can be accessed by going to www.facebook.com/snowbirdUT, then clicking the “Local Hero” tab on the left side of the screen.
The four videos in each category with the most “Likes” on Facebook will advance to a final round of judging for the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize winner in the ski category will be chosen by the Powder magazine editorial staff and the Grand Prize winner in the snowboard category will be chosen by the Snowboarder magazine editorial staff.
“This contest is a great way for people who love to ski and ride to share their passion for the mountains with thousands of like-minded enthusiasts,” said Dave Fields, Snowbird Vice President of Resort Operations. “The lucky two who win will have a trip of a lifetime to show for their creativity and passion.”
