Britain’s Got Skiers 2013

Ski

+ Edit Competition plus Film

Do you want to see

your skiing edit featured on a DVD with nationwide exposure?

The most interesting

and exciting skiing competition in the UK is now open for entries. It doesn't

matter if you're not the greatest skier in the country, that's the beauty of

this competition. All it takes is a little bit of stoke. Just get together 3

minutes of skiing from this summer or the previous season, and put it into a

short film. It doesn't matter if it's a backcountry adventure in Scotland,

indoor park riding in the UK, epic steep descents, mellow powder days or even

intense ski-cross action. It’s not only about the riding content, this comp is

as much about the editing as the riding. We encourage anyone with a camera and

an editing suite on their computer to have a go. We just want to see films that

get the viewer amped and remind them why skiing means something to them.

Prizes are available

for best overall edit (£500 cash) and runner up, best skier under 16 (GoPro

Helmet Camera), a Judges Special Prize based on creativity (GoPro Helmet

Camera), best female and best slam. Last year saw numerous freeride edits, so

this year we are introducing a new freeride category for unsponsored skiers

(set of Movement Crew skis, plus clothing and the scope for further sponsorship

from Movement). In addition to these prizes there will be monthly spot prizes

run through the BGS Facebook page too.

To enter, upload your

final edit onto our BGS Facebook site. The best edits will be chosen at the end

of August. The site is available to view with all the entries as the

competition progresses. Once the finalist’s edits have been selected, they will

be produced into a movie produced by our in-house editor, Eddie ‘Slavemonkey’

Thelwell, for the premier and general release at the London Ski Show.

Finalist’s edits included in the film will be announced weekly over the month

of September and shown on the Ellis Brigham website. The overall winners of

their categories will be selected by a panel of judges and announced at the

premiere. The film will then be distributed through our stores with over 1500

copies handed out and this year will see the film

available for download online.

If you're going to have separate categories, you've got a gaping flaw, in that a ton of the submitted edits are skiing outside of the UK. To really show Britain's got skiING would be significantly cooler + unique IMO.

Regardless I'm a big fan of the comp, if all goes well next year I might be helping somebody submit to it next year. Although given that this is Britain, it's unlikely haha.
 
Hey Magnus,

What we mean to say is that the skiing can be either in Britain or of a British skier ripping it abroad. We have a few catagories so that we can give out more prizes and recognise those skiers who perhaps wouldn't otherwise win in a overall best only situation.

Glad to hear you are a fan of the page, we currently have a best stack comp running until the 27th July if you have any footage you want to enter. It must either be shot by you or is of you, there are a set of Tyrolia Attack 13 bindings up for grabs.

Cheers,

BGS team
