Just in case y'all missed the article, Super U.ca has approached NS to do a contest for the best 'Early Season Sessions' edit, and the winner will receive $3,000!

Super U is an online venue to watch

the latest Canadian short films where viewers can enjoy high quality

content and filmmakers can enjoy on-site contests and exposure to

broadcasters like Super U’s partner Super Channel (which the winning entry will also receive).

Details are as follows: make a short (10 minutes max) documentary-based film (not

just straight ski porn!) on an early season session. Take some time to

tell us the story of your day, what went into it, what you did, and how

it went. Edit it all together (make sure you have the rights to any and all music you use otherwise you will be disqualified) and then upload your video to Super U.ca (not NS).

The contest is only open to Canadian citizens (as Super U is a Canadian-based website that caters to amateur film in Canada) and entries will be accepted until 5am PST on Monday, December 22nd. The earlier you upload the film the longer your film will be available for rating and anyone and everyone can view and vote on all the entires over at Super U.ca until 5am PST, Monday, January 5th, 2009. Following that, a panel of judges (Theory-3 Media's Jeff Thomas,

pro skier Joe Schuster & Newschoolers.com's Jeff Schmuck) will

watch the top 20% highest rated films and decide on the winner and announce it on January 19th on both Super U and right here on NS.

For more info and details head over to our contest page or to Super U.ca.

Good luck!

 
its put on by a Canadian company...tis not like they got together and said "DUDE< YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO, SAY FUCK THE AMERICANS AND NOT PUT THEM IN, WOULDN'T THAT BE HILARIOUS?" its just because tis a canadian company. you gusy ahve no idea what we miss out on up here anyways. we got itunes store like a week ago, and we still cant get the same shit as the us itunes store. and if a canadian wins any money in an american contest, instantly 30% gone from taxes. how shitty is that. no matter what event thats in the states (the majority of them) a canadian champion will never make as much as an american champion.
 
(make sure you have the rights to any and all music you use otherwise you will be disqualified)

please clarify this specifically!

 
as a true amateur I have no idea what getting the rights to anything entails. will a handwritten note from the artist suffice or do i need some sort of legal documentation?
 
I second that! Just because America sucks doesn't mean half of the NS population needs to suffer.
 
an online contest for a super niche sport being restricted to Canadians only??? what a TERRIBLE idea.
 
that is pretty clear already. If you have to ask I can safely say you do not have the rights to your music.

and smuggs that was hilarious, the canadians are finally able to get their hands on some internet moneys.
 
How are everyone's entries coming along?

Remember that the quicker you put up your edit the longer it can be voted on, giving you a better chance of being in the top 20%!
 
Won't help. Even if you're a US citizen you're still a Canadian resident for tax purposes so long as you have a lot of connections here or spend more than 183 days in the country.
 
AW BOO HOO theres been one contest ever created in the history of skiing that doesnt benefit americans AINT KARMA a lil bitch
 
It's not karma Margetts. If karma was in play, you, schmuck, and I would be dead in a ditch somewhere.

My fellow Americans,
I ask you for a moment of your precious time. We need to RELAX. Our friends, and I put a strong emphasis on FRIENDS, to the North need this opportunity. Their long history of playing second fiddle to the great United States of America has long been documented. The closest they've ever come to having a significant presence in American culture is Allanis Morrisette, accurately represented South Park characters, and Sarah Palin and that's because our citizens wrongly assumed an Alaskan accent and a Canadian accent were the same. But let's stay on track.
There are plenty of other wonderful contests open to all the citizens of the world. All you need to do is click this link and travel to the NS contest page. While you may not have the opportunity to win 3,000 big ones, think of what you DO have. The satisfaction of knowing you were born on good American soil and breathe delicious, sweet American air everyday.
To our Canadian friends, please make the most of this extraordinary opportunity. We, the great citizens of the United States of America, will applaud, cheer, and jeer your entires based on their merit alone. I speak for all Americans when I say, "Good luck and Godspeed." Canada will always be a close friend of the United States.
And to my fellow Americans, do not be angry because this contest is open exclusively to our Canadian friends. Be happy for them. We can rise above this. We will continue to be a nation of extraordinary people. I ask you, Where else can a person win hundreds of millions of dollars on a $5 lottery ticket?Only in America.
Where can a person win expensive prizes simply by opening a Pepsi bottle?Only in America.
ONLY in America!
We will get through this!
Yes We Can!
Thank You, Good Luck Canada, and May God Bless The United States of America,Mike Rogge, Proud Citizen of the United States of America and the Global Ski Community

hahahahaha
Love you Marg. Now go to the Max with Kelly and Slater before Mr. Belding comes looking for you!
 
theres plenty....

we had to move home base to the mine because the city got mad at us for using there property without liability.
 
To pissed off Americans unable to enter contest: I may not have a long spiel like Mr Rogge prepared, but I should point out that (unless I'm mistaken) the prize is for $3000 Canadian. Which comes out to something like a super sized big mac meal down there right now. So don't lose too much sleep over it.
 
just a question is this like an edit from ONE early season sesh.

or just a few in general combined.

and fuck we need snow in bc.
 


Sorry this has nothing to do with super U....

First off I just want to say that american rant is total bullshit, to my american people??? You're addressing newschoolers... not the nation. Where else can you fly an airplane into your own buildings, murder thousands of people and get away with it? Where else can you invade foreign countries, murder thousands of people and get away with it? And all for personal gains. The U.S. is soooo deep in the shit right now you guys are lucky you still have houses to live in. Canada is the BOMB. Everyone who lives here knows it, people in america are blinded by propaganda and their own patriotic brainwashing. We have lotteries here and we have just as many shitty pepsi/coke under the cap/label contests that no one enters. Hell everyone in the world knows Canada is the shit. Don't get me wrong here I love going to the states to visit, and there are a tonne of cool people living their. I'm just sick of Canada being downplayed and hearing ignorant americans talk about how great it is to live in america.
The 911 comments are a low blow and by posting I'm really just doing exactly what I'm accusing you of doing. I just had to get it off my chest.
 
I'd suffer through each of those things just as long as no one in the states ever uses the term "the BOMB" with sincerity. Is it 1993 in Canada?

Canada is great....you however, are a huuuuuuge cunt.
 
Judging by everything I've seen so far and my using my absolute bias opinion, I'm going with maxamas's entry a.k.a. Mr. Max Hill. I mean, you've got to be baller as fuck to rip your own stitches out AND make the NS front page. If the The Crook Kids Alphabet entry were a WWF title match, they'd win, then chug beer, then smash the loser over the face with fucking steel chair because, well, they're the fucking champions and they can do what they want.

(Still looking for the Voleurz entry)
