Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz (MBOSC) has partnered with Bicycle Trip to present the first ever photo and video contest focused on Santa Cruz County trails.

The Trail Vision Awards celebrates the areaโ€™s countless videographers, photographers, and photogenic trails, as well as its amazing community of trail users including mountain bikers, hikers, horseback riders, trail runners, mushroom foragers, and more.

We live in a place with countless videographers, photographers, and photogenic trails, not to mention an amazing community of trail users including mountain bikers, hikers, horseback riders, trail runners, mushroom foragers, and more.

Content submissions will be accepted through October 18, and a public screening will be held at theย Rio Theaterย on November 1st. Tickets to the screening are only $15 and include entry into a raffle for amazing prizes. Tickets go on sale September 1st, and since this event is held as a benefit for MBOSC, all proceeds will go directly back to Santa Cruz County trails.

With categories focused on both bike and non-bike content, this contest is intended to celebrateย all trail users. A prestigious jury has been selected to decide the Best Overall Bike Photo/Video and Best Overall Non-bike Photo/Video, and then the audience at the screening will get to vote for the People’s Choice Photo/Video. The top-three category winners will take home incredible prizes.
