Due October 6th, 2010 - Upload your best outdoor videos and share them with the largest outdoor community in Canada. Vote for the spots you think are the sweetest.

What should your video have?

Focus on self-propelled activities
MEC supports self propelled, wilderness-oriented recreation, activities like mountaineering, rock climbing, ski touring, hiking, camping, cycling, and paddling. Your video should feature one or more of these activities rather than scenes of people doing back flips on tricked-out snowmobiles.

Creativity and uniqueness
Does your video show outdoor activities in a fresh, original and engaging way? We're looking for video spots that are inventive, and showcase authentic outdoor culture and unique outdoor experiences. Everyone has their own special rituals or approach, so let's see them.

Inspiration factor
We want to see videos that tempt us outside. After watching your video, people should feel inspired to try something new or maybe challenge themselves next time they're out in the wilderness.

Responsible outdoor recreation
Videos should show an awareness, appreciation, and respect for the environment and a safe and responsible approach to recreation. We want to see awesomeness and creativity, but we don't want to look at anything that shows irresponsible behavior, damage to wild spaces, or someone taking foolish risks.
