Default VAST Awards - 01-18-2006, 02:56 PM

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).

[quote="vastawards.com":0e53d]VAST Awards- Time to vote!
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.

DVD Release
The VAST DVD is released this fall in the impressive edition of 315.000 copies and it will be distributed together with nine of the worlds most prominent Ski Magazines. On the DVD you find the 20 nominated contributions presented in their full length, a 16 minute long VAST Award movie mixing some of the best sequences from each of these nominated teams, a movie called Free skiing awareness and a various useful information from the VAST sponsors. Visit http://www.vastawards.com to find out which magazine that carry the DVD in your part of the world.

The Party to look forward to
The great VAST Awards Ceremony on which the prize purse of 50.000 US dollars will be handed out is held at ISPO in Munich the 29:th of January and will for sure be a huge ski event and a great party!

That oversized, straight-rimmed white Yankees hat looks fucking stupid. He looks like Charlie Brown with straggly hippy hair.
