- Best Film Award
This is awarded to the film that our judges rate as the top film of our competition; from the story, to the editing to the camera skills.
- Best Youth Award
This is awarded to the top overall film recorded and edited by young people (aged 18 and under).
- Spirit of Adventure Award
This is awarded to the film that captures the raw spirit and essence of adventure. It doesn't need to be the shinest, best edited film, but it tells an epic story.
- Director's Choice Award
Our film awards are all judged by an external panel of experts, but this prize is given to the chosen film by MD Outdoors, who we believe tells a unique story or different perspective of adventure.
All prize packs to be valued over $2k each.
