Key Tips for Your Trick Shot Submission
- Your social profile must be public.
- Music is not required for your video, but if you want to include music, you have to use the music clip “Get Ready” (2013 remix).
- Use of the music clip will not improve your chances of winning, but if a video includes any other music, it will be disqualified.
According to the contest official rules, a winner will be determined by a qualified judging panel based on the following criteria:
- Appropriateness to theme (34%)
- Creativity / originality (33%)
- Difficulty of trick shot / shock value (33%)
And like many contests, you can only submit once, so make sure it is your NUTTIEST work. Good luck!
