Have you seen this video featuring Chris Sharma, which is part of the Access Fund's Boulder Project? (Click play and check it out, if not.)
Like what you see? Want to see your own video next to this BigUp Production? Well the Access Fund and YourClimbing.com want you to produce your own video promoting the Boulder Project!
Grab a friend (or a stranger) and your video camera, and come up with a short video to promote the ideals of the Boulder Project -- which are summed up in this phrase: "Climbers, the environment, and access are all connected."
Post the video here at YourClimbing.com (you'll have to be a registered user to do so - it's cool, registration is free and easy) with a caption noting that it's an entry for the Access Fund contest, and whoever submits the best flick by July 31st will win both an Osprey Aether 60 pack (valued at $219), and an Osprey Daylite pack ($50). (As well as the riches and fame beyond imagination that accompany any film award.)
What's the Boulder Project?
Here's the description from the Access Fund website:
The Boulder Project is a community of climbers that give a S#!@t about what happens to our climbing areas. Practicing low impact climbing and encouraging others to do the same is how we get it done, 'cause that's the only way to be assured that we always have places to climb.
The Boulder Project encourages climbers to be proactive in maintaining access to their crags, and it provides essential information for the transition from indoors to outdoors and frontcountry to backcountry which will keep us all climbing.
Video tips
Want to create an award-winning short video and win those Osprey packs? Here are some suggestions:
- Keep it short. The Sharma video is only 30 seconds. Ideally, keep yours between 30 and 60 seconds.
- Be creative! You know that will help win over the judges.
- Use the Sharma video as either a guide or a source for mocking!
- Be funny or be serious. ... But get the message across, that it's up to climbers to act responsibly in order to preserve and retain access to bouldering areas.
Have fun! ... Good luck!
