Day in the Park Contest!

With so many different people pumping out all these creative online video contests, I thought that I would also make a contest. With the great success my Day in the Park edit had for me last season, getting me hooked up with CoreUPT Skis, etc... I thought that maybe I could do that with one of you guys, but on a slightly smaller scale. Wolah! A Day in the Park video contest. The rules are simple:
-Video has to be under 4 minutes
-Video has to be filmed in one day of skiing (although it is impossible for me to know for sure whether it was truly one day or not I will be looking at things like outfit, weather, terrain, etc... It's an honest policy and if your video IS more than one day then god will smite you.)
-You cannot be under contract with any companies, be getting paid, or be legitimately sponsored to do this contest.
-Videos will be open for entry from March 1st until April 1st. Video must be filmed THIS SEASON!
-Videos have to be added to youtube with the title A Day in the Park with (your name). Then send a link to your video in a private message. I will add all the videos to my favorites under the youtube name "dayintheparkcontest"

Winner will recieve two pairs of Smith Phenom Goggles, extra lenses, a Smith Helmet, an '09/'10 DVLP Sweatshirt, stickers, a brand new pair of Switch Gloves, a brand new pair of Skull Candy SKPRO headphones, and some other sweet product that I can scrub up. Enjoy, I can't wait to see what everyone can come up with! All the best,
Gus

Here is my very own Day in the Park video that I just made, check it out. Hopefully it inspires you!

no, as long as you can keep the tricks from getting too repetitive. Just be creative if you don't have much to work with, and also, short and sweet is better than long and repetitive.

He's giving you a chance to submit something, never did he say he was restricting it to only "the good skiers" this is a contest, you don't get prizes just for trying. Just go make a video, have fun, quit worrying about being fair. I think it's pretty damn fair and clear on what you need to do, quit complaining about it and just go tape, have fun, be jolly.

I understand, however there isn't really all that much that I can do. It's a contest, I wish it could be more fair. I know that some kids ski Breck and Keystone, and others ski much smaller mountains with a lot less to work with. I will be taking use of features and creativity into consideration. Besides the resorts that everyone is filming at I tried to give everyone an even playing field. It is worth it for everyone to enter, although not everyone can win, it's a great chance to put yourself out there, and any exposure is good exposure! Good luck guys.

Yea! I deffinatly want to do this!
I just gotta try and convince a friend to give up a day of skiing to film me.

QUESTION:  Does it have to be in a park?  Or can I throw in some stuff from local spots/ my house?  It will still be in the same day, just different locations?

as long as it's still one day. I don't really want to limit the submittions. Please don't lie though, I am trusting that it is one day if you say it is. Also, I am going to know it's not one day if you ski tons of park and then go and ski like 10 urban rails.
