SLINGSHOTS celebrates the new Slingshot from Polaris, a brand-new three-wheeled adventure that blasts through traditional thresholds of excitement. An exhilarating cross between sportscar and motorcycle, the Slingshot thrusts enthusiasts into a whole new lifestyle that celebrates the brilliant sights and sounds of the coolest highways and byways around the globe--as Slingshots penetrate the natural beauty that surrounds, but often escapes, us.

SLINGSHOTS means to assemble 2-5 minute videos that capture the incredible Slingshot vibe--with the best heart-stopping, breath-taking, eye-popping, crowd-wooing, nature-loving video clips imaginable--shot of, by, and for Slingshot enthusiasts.
The following categories are suggestive of content, but will exclude nothing. .
> water shots (oceans, lakes, rivers, etc.)
> city shots (great cities like Denver, SF, New Orleans, NY; or out of the way spots; etc.)
> mountain shots (Rockies, Sierras, Appalachians, Smokies, Adirondacks, etc.)
> country shots (deserts, plains, rolling hills, etc.)
> road shots (US 66, US 50, Az 666, NM 555, US 101, etc. YOU know the good ones!)
> hood shots (your favorite 'hood; maybe where you want to live--or not!)
> mug shots (people's reactions to your SS, etc.)
> still shots (photo's of your SS at cool or famous spots, or showing off your mod's)

All selected subissions will be screened on a looped basis at the SPRINGSLING event at El Toro AFB in Orange County, Ca. on May 20-22.
