Looking for an opportunity to win cash prizes?

Beginning now, Integral Management will be sponsoring a series of online competitions, evaluating entrants based on a media submission and passion for actions sports through socioeconomic adversity. Anyone is welcome to enter, and winners will be announced by the end of April.

You have the opportunity to convey your interest in action sports through writing and a media submission. If you send us a really well-produced season edit, that's cool. But it'd also be awesome if you sent a few photos or just some video clips. Anything is great; we're far more interested in understanding your motivation for action sports and how you have pursued this ambition despite difficulty. Tell a story about yourself, and explain why action sports are an important part of your story.

Open Category - 3 $100 cash awards

Regardless of where you live, you're eligible to enter a competition for one of three cash prizes.

TO ENTER, GO HERE: https://goo.gl/forms/zDITpHh0NaTdvUm32

If you live near Seven Springs Resort:

About Integral

Integral Management was founded as a music management agency in 2013. We supported regional artists by providing marketing, management, and booking services - all at no cost. Since then, we've shifted to our current role: helping action sports athletes in the pursuit of success. We believe that action sports present powerful opportunities for human interaction and progression every day, and that these opportunities should be available to any person committed to his or her sport. To realize that goal, we work to eliminate socioeconomic barriers that too often stand in the way. As a student-run organization, Integral stands out in an industry - and a world - driven by the pursuit of money. We're proud to do everything at no cost, working towards a more equitable future.

"evaluating entrants based on a media submission and passion for actions sports through socioeconomic adversity."

Creating an event around a sport that's 99.99% middle to upper-class white kids will surely bring about some interesting stories of socioeconomic adversity.

I can't wait to see the entry about the kid who had to mow lawns for a month to pay for summer ski camp, or the one about the kid who had his pass taken away because he forgot to fill up his dad's BMW M4 after driving it to the mall.

I definitely understand your concerns, but we've received some really awesome submissions from people who have went through a lot to be able to pursue what they're passionate about. I agree that many in action sports come from wealthy families. However, there are also a lot of people for whom skiing is a huge financial burden, and many of my friends are among this group, as am I.

The goal of this competition (and hopefully others in the future) is to make it easier for a few people to do what they love. It's something that as a society we struggle to do, but I'm excited to do what I can.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to talk about.
