The international boardsport shop, Blue Tomato, is looking to continue the success of last season with the third run of the “Best Urban Shot” competition. Countless participants, tons of video and photo material, and all sorts of first class shots were the results of last year’s comp, and this year is looking to be even more intense, with the winners from last year going head over heels … sorry tip over tail to defend their title.

The Best Urban Shot Competition is a chance for all city shredders, whether snowboarder or freeskier, to get creative and run riot on the rails of their home towns. The only condition is that the shot must be taken in an urban environment, far from parks and mountains. A famous landmark in a European capital would be, for example, the perfect background for your photo or video.

All artwork sent in will be judged by a specialist Blue Tomato Jury with a total of 3,000 € in cash to give out for the most creative photos and videos.

The winners of the Best Snowboard Photo, Best Snowboard Video, Best Freeski Photo and Best Freeski Video categories will each receive 750 € cash. The second and third places don’t need to hang their heads too low though, as they will receive high-value goodies from the competition’s sponsors: Atomic Freeskiing, Nitro Snowboarding, GoPro and of course, Blue Tomato

On top of the great cash prizes, the winner of each category will receive something super special, the likes of which would make pro-riders across the world jealous: A huge serving of media coverage. For the freeskiers, that means their own specially made poster will be included in the freeski magazine downdays.eu. The snowboarders will have their own poster featured by none other than the world famous Onboard Mag. As if that’s not enough motivation to get out and shred.

So switch off your computer, get your crew together and get shredding and shooting in the city! Want to get out there, but you ruined your board/skis on your last urban adventure? We can whole heartedly recommend Marc Swoboda’s Pro-model, the Nitro Swindle. Freeskiers, we recommend the Punx from Atomic to give you the ultimate urban advantage. Of course, all other necessary accessories for a successful urban shoot, such as a GoPro Cam or Banshee Bungee, are available on www.blue-tomato.com .
