What’s the best way to get some free designs in and get a better feel of what riders want to see on their boards next winter? Throw a design competition!
Nidecker just launched their snowboard design competition, but in this case they are doing it the right way!
Not only have they partnered with Core77 - a recognized global online portal that provides a gathering point for designers - but they will be really rewarding the best designs and designers:

• The Top 5 designs will be applied to Nidecker snowboards and displayed at the international SIA Show in Denver and at the ISPO Tradeshow in Munich in February 2010, along with profiles of the winning designers.
• The Grand Prize winner will receive a $2500 cash award, and their design will be included in the 2010/11 Nidecker line. The 4 Runners Up will each be produced in a limited edition run.
• All top 5 Finalists will receive a Nidecker snowboard produced with their design, and the designer’s name will be featured on the side of their board.

This is pretty much a legit win-win deal for all you graphic shredesigners out there!
