You can submit up to three video entries per person.  If we choose your video, it will be featured as “video of the day” on the BluePlanetSurf YouTube channel between June 1 and July 31, 2021.  We will then select the top 10 videos and will post an award show announcing the $2000 grand prize winner on August 14, 2021.

Judging criteria:

• Entertaining: we are looking for creative, original, amazing videos.  We like to see action, humor, beautiful scenery, adventure, storytelling.
• Watersports related: we prefer videos related to foiling, wing foiling, surfing, and Stand Up Paddleboarding but will consider other entries.
• Unique edit: we give preference to unique edits that have not been published before.  You can use the same footage you have used elsewhere but a unique edit that has not been posted online before is preferred.
• Virality/ promotion: If your video gets selected as video of the day, you can help us promote it to get lots of views, thumbs ups, and comments.  These will help increase your chance of winning.  Paid/ fake views or likes are not allowed and will disqualify entry.
• Family friendly language and content preferred, please bleep out any foul language.
• If your video features music, it should be royalty free or we may use different music or post it without any sound. We recommend that you use royalty free music from the Youtube Audio Library.
• Complete submission: videos submitted with a catchy thumbnail, title and description will have a better chance to win.
