IMBA is excited to announce our first-ever "Celebrate Singletrack" short-format film contest. Mountain bikers from around the world are invited to submit three- to five-minute film or video shorts that celebrate the spirit of mountain biking.
Successful entries will combine great riding footage with storytelling that highlights the people, places and trails that inspire knobby-tire enthusiasts. Bonus points will be awarded for featuring IMBA-affiliated clubs and volunteers who create inspirational mountain biking success stories.
The best 10 entries will be included in IMBA's upcoming "Celebrate Singletrack" DVD, and the top five films will be screened and judged June 19, 2008 during the IMBA World Summit at the Park City. The Park City film night will also feature the premiere of The Collective's newest release, "Seasons."
To be considered for the "Celebrate Singletrack" collection, entries must be recorded on full-quality digital video, minimum dimensions of 720 width/480 height, at 30 frames per second. Finalists must submit their entry on a full-quality DVD by June 10, 2008.
Initial online submissions will be web quality. Films must be uploaded to the YouTube group no later than May 31, 2008 for initial judging. Submit your masterpiece to http://www.youtube.com/group/celebrat... for review. Send an e-mail to markeller@imba.com with the title of your piece and full contact information when you post it at YouTube.
Film makers are encouraged to identify the location and names of trails used for filming. Remember, the goal is to make viewers lust to ride. Carving sweet singletrack through gorgeous terrain or rolling with a pack of friends can rate just as highly as big hucks and sweet skinnies.
We're IMBA, so we've gotta say it:
Please ride responsibly (extended airtime can be perfectly responsible!) on legal trails.
Prizes will be announced soon!
