POWDER ANNOUNCES NOMINEES FOR 2009 POWDER VIDEO AWARDS AND READER POLL PRESENTED BY
WE SKI & SNOWBOARD™
DANA POINT, Calif., Jan. 8, 2009 - POWDER Magazine today announced the nominees for the 2009 POWDER Video Awards and Reader Poll Presented by We Ski & Snowboard™.
"Since the inception of the POWDER Video Awards nine years ago, the number and quality of ski films continues to grow, demonstrating the vitality and demand for ski cinematography," said POWDER Editor Derek Taylor. "This year, to address the demand, we added two new categories recognizing the creativity of the filmmakers - ˜Best Editing" and ˜Best Cinematography."
Tanner Hall took top honors in 2008
POWDER asks each film company to submit their entries for each category except for "Movie of the Year." Nominees for the coveted "Movie of the Year" honor are selected by a POWDER-appointed expert panel of judges after all of the films are viewed. Of the more than 30 titles submitted this year, the following five earned nominations for the prestigious "Movie of the Year": Claim by Matchstick Productions, Reasons by Poor Boyz Productions, Under the Influence by Teton Gravity Research, The Massive by Red Bull Moving Pictures, and Hunting Yeti by Nimbus Entertainment.
