      Let us know your thoughs by responding here to this post or on our facebook page. We will take your opionions into account for the final winners which will be announced once heat number two (Jan 1st – 31st) and three (Feb 1st – 28th) are complete.

      Still plenty of time to qualify so get on it already!

      Stoked to be a qualifier in heat number one amongst the other five.


      Especially Madoalpine's "Timing is Everything". Huge accomplishment, words, and images. Simply a Fantastic and Humbling adventure! Leaves me wanting to hear and see more.

      Also stoked to qualify for this heat! Loved your slide show Jake it was my fav. The music goes really well with the awesome shots and great words. Good to see some snowboarders in there too and the shots jumping above Banff at night were super cool! Great work!
