VAST Awards
 

Right. Most of you probably dont know what it is, so Ill start with what I know:

VAST Awards is a competition for both professional and amateur photographers and moviemakers, which also gives a great opportunity to show off their skills for the rest of the skiing world. The "semifinals" has already ended, and the final votings ends this upcoming sunday (Jan. 22nd).

Movie makers and skiers all over the world have been working hard during the last winter, more than 100 contributions were handed in at the end of May and now 20 of these have been nominated by the VAST Award jury with members like Glen Plake and Doug Coombs. Riders such as Tanner Hall, Simon Dumont, Jon Olsson, Arno Adam and Pierre-Yves Leblanc can bee seen in the nominees.

Now you can vote on three of ten categories at [url="http://www.vastawards.com"]http://www.vastawards.com[/url], the category Best Ski Performance is decided by public voting only and the categories Best Film and Best Rookie Film are decided 40% by voting and 60% by the VAST Award jury.
