Calling all footbag video producers! We are excited to announce the World Footbag Championships Video Contest has returned! The first Video Contest was held in Helsinki, Finland many years ago and the Footbag Online Shred Club is happy to keep this lively tradition going.

The deadline for entries is July 25th. All submissions will be checked before screening and in case of too many entries, only a selection will be shown in the screening. Contact Rory Dawson for any questions about the competition. Image

Videos will be pre-judged by a panel of footbag video connoisseurs and the top three entries will be announced in the after-party. A playlist of the videos will also be put online afterwards, so that the videos can also be viewed by the wider community.
