SHOOT TO THRILL OPENS "DIGITAL DIVISION" + $2000.00 BEST PHOTO PRIZE FOR BOTH AMS AND PROS!

Color Magazine and Red Bull have received so many inquiries and applications from pro teams wanting to take part in the 2008 Shoot to Thrill contest that they have decided to open up the Digital category to everyone.


Now, any team made up of filmer and one to three skaters can upload their 3.5-5 min digital video (shot between Sept.5-7) onto redbullshoottothrill.com. From there, viewers will vote for their favorite video, granting $3000 in filming equipment to the winners. In addition to the Digital category prize, all photographers who want to submit their photos are eligible to win the $2000 prize for Best Photo. 




"The line between amateur and professional are so blurred today. We're all interested to see what the Film Division teams will bring in, but I'm most excited for the D.I.Y. entries and who the Digital Division might uncover." --Sandro Grison, Editor-in-chief, Color Magazine.
