boot Düsseldorf launches video award

Action-packed
and exciting, or just romantic and beautiful: this is what they need to be – the video clips that water sports enthusiasts
can enter for the new boot Düsseldorf video award.

Water
sports enthusiasts can submit films that show them in action in or on the
water. They should be uploaded to this website by 15 December 2015.
Detailed information about participation in the award as well as uploading
instructions can be found there too. boot Director Goetz-Ulf Jungmichel said,
“We want really authentic clips of water sports enthusiasts which show that our
sport is beautiful and, above all, great fun to try too.” 

In line with the boot
Düsseldorf motto of “Experience 360° water sports”, the videos should
demonstrate the entire panorama of water sports activities.

The award will be presented in the categories of sailing, motorboating (including jet
skiing and inflatable boating), yachting, diving, fishing, paddling,
windsurfing, kitesurfing, wakeboarding and stand-up paddling as well as family
holidays either by, on or under the water.

boot
Düsseldorf has come up with something very special to serve as the winners’
prizes: a Splash Drone supplied by Multikopter. This quadcopter is not just
rain- and splash-proof; it is also completely water-tight, so that it can start
directly out of the water. This makes the revolutionary Splash Drones pretty
much a must-have for any water sports enthusiast, since they enable him or her
to film every detail of his or her sport. These super drones will be on show in
the Water Pixel World at boot Düsseldorf from 23 to 31 December 2016. The
entrants who come in second to fifth in all the categories will also receive
attractive water sports-related prizes. Winners will receive their prizes at a
ceremony held during boot Düsseldorf on Sunday, 24 January 2016.

There is
another prize for the most attractive and exciting clips: they will be part of
the new advertising campaign in which boot Düsseldorf 2017 will be publicised.
The most distinctive pictures will be chosen as poster and advertisement
motifs! Before the biggest boat trade fair in the world starts, these pictures
will be used to advertise the event in and around Düsseldorf as well as in
international water sports magazines. The QR code printed on them will enable
water sports fans to access the winning video directly and to experience the
fascination of the sport live.
