Replying to 1st Annual UFS Video Contest

A few details about the Video Contest have rolled in. Start editing. Make sure your video is 2-4 minutes long. More details and rules will be posted on our website this week. But I think you have mostly everything you need to start editing now! Ok.  The video contest is on.  More details will be posted on our website soon.  We have some great prizes for the winner, but I don't want to reveal what they are until they are all here!

We will pick the best 5 edits, compile them, and show them on a loop sequence before the Teton Gravity Research premier in November.  As if having every skier at the University of Utah see your edit isn't prize enough, Wiley Miller will then pick the best edit from the top 5 edits, that edit will be deemed the winner and its editor will be given some awesome prizes! The entire edit will be posted online after the TGR premier.

Upload your video to vimeo.com and submit the link to social@freeskiersociety.com
