We’re working with our friends at The North Face on a great video-sharing contest. They’ve set up a video-sharing site at Defy.tv.
Along with monthly prizes, the big kahuna is a trip to Aspen during the X Games and mega one year product hookup from The North Face. The kicker is that you must give us your submission by no later than Tuesday January 8th at 4pm MST.
If you have some nasty footage, you have a legit chance of grabbing a prize because submissions were low in the early season due to thin snow conditions. With things improving all over the place, if you can nab some footage and get in soon, you may well find yourself in Aspen later this month.
All the details on the prizes are below.
To get into the action, you can enter your video directly from Freeskier.com. Just go to the Post Video Pages, and upload your video. Under “Tagging and Sorting”, you see instructions to tag your video “Defy.TV” if you want to enter it into the contest. (See image below)
We’ll gather up videos associated with the contest, and send them over to TNF for entry on Wednesday evening. Good luck, and get after it.
Also, here are the details, straight from the horse’s mouth:
