Make it innovative, make it street, make it cute, but most of all make it yours.We know you’ve been thinking about it while sitting on the lift or behind your desk, now is your chance to show us what you’ve got!  

Winning submissions will be flown to join SIA Snow Show, 686, and Malakye.com in Denver, CO (US and Canada residents) or ISPO and 686 in Munich, Germany (Europe or Asia residents) and given 3 days to create a one of a kind design.
