Second and third place prices include SkullCandy headphones, Shred Betties hoodies, beanies, and more. Good luck!
The Prizes:
Shred Betties & our sponsors will set the winner up with all new gear for next season, including outerwear from Monix, a
Never Summer Pandora snowboard, Northwave Legend Lady boots, Drake DL bindings, Eesa Lux Layering base layer & socks , Von Zipper Goggles ,
SkullCandy Ti Headphones, a Bula beanie, and more! Runners up will recieve hoodies, stickers, beanies, and other swag.
Notes:
Some of you may be wondering why we started this so late in the season, right when your resorts are about to close. Well, we had to make it a bit challenging, right? The goal
of the contest is to keep girls interested in and thinking about snowboarding over the summer. If your local hill is closing, think about a creative or different way to
accomplish some of the items on the list.
The Rules
- All responses are to be submitted digitally, in a single .zip folder, or by mail in a single package by midnight Mountain time on June 30, 2008. If submitting digitally, please include a document with your name, address, and email, and the answers to all text clues.
- The winner will be selected based on who has the most points, with 5 points for special clues, and 1 point for regular clue, so you do not need to find every clue. However, a minimum of 100 points is required to qualify to win. Please include a few extra in case some items are rejected.
- We're bored, and we know there's not much snow left, so a creative, funny or unique solution to a clue can earn 1 bonus point for that clue.
- Please don't cheat! We're looking for original and creative work. Images taken from the internet or scanned from print materials will not be counted. If you think there might be a question about an image, put yourself in the photo, or think of a creative way to show us it's original.
- Check back every couple of weeks for new clues, including some special clues worth extra points
- Sorry boys, all the prizes are for chicks, so you must be female to enter
