Vans „The Circle“-Videowettbewerb 2022 – Alles, was du wissen musst
Eine weltweite Initiative zur Unterstützung lokaler BMX-Läden
We're stoked to announce that Vans 'The Circle' is back for 2022 with 18 shops competing from around the globe by creating videos of their local scenes. Read on to find out everything you need to know including the full list of stores that you'll be seeing videos from here from October 25th. Don't forget to come back and vote for your DIG Community Favourite too and be in the with the chance of winning an awesome footwear package from VANS.
Switzerland (Oct. 24, 2022) – Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, is excited to announce Vans The Circle – a 100% digital street video competition – is back for a third year.
First introduced on a European level in 2020, the online competition gave BMX shops across Europe the chance to film a team edit, celebrating their riders and the local communities. Four international guests have now joined the European crew and will all compete to win a share of the €20,000 prize pot.
The concept remains the same. Each invited shop receives a budget to help cover the costs of filming and editing their team video. Then they have two months to pull together an edit worthy of the top prizes.
They will be judged on criteria such as inclusivity, creativity and style by a brand-new panel of judges including Linda Grabner, Greg Illingworth, Markus Wilke, Kevin Peraza and Calvin Kosovich. And the final (and most important judge) is the BMX community, who can cast their vote for their Fan Favourite on DIGBMX.com up until October 30th ahead of the live virtual finals. Alongside prizes for the Top 3 shops, MVP, Best Trick, Creative Vision and DIG Community Favourite, this year’s competition will yet again deliver a Photography award (judged by up and coming French Photographer Ben Gea), further supporting the expressive creators within the BMX community.
