As part of its Sweetspots project, Nike ACG is launching two competitions for film makers and athletes. One offers a chance for the athlete to show off his or her skills on the slopes by submitting their own Sweetspot film; the second offers an opportunity to join the Sweetspots film crew.
Those intererted are being asked to upload their Sweetspot on the Nike ACG website. All entries should be approximately three minutes long, featured in Quick Time format and have a rights free soundtrack. Submissions will be put forward to a panel of judges consisting of Nike ACG employees and team riders. Entries that impress the panel will receive a years supply of Nike ACG kit as well as being featured on the Nike ACG website.
The winner of the film crew spot will join some of Nike ACG athletes on an all expenses paid trip to South America to help produce next winters first Sweetspot. The shoot will take place in July 2008 in Patagonia. The deadline for both competitions is April 1 2008.
Dick's Sporting Goods recently launched the Nike ACG outdoor brand as an exclusive in its stores.
