Jamie Bestwick - Mobile App BMX Event,

About the event

We are running a closed-contest within our iOS application, Tourney, with Jamie Bestwick as the judge. Our participants will include three pro/amateur BMX riders.

The way our app works is that a challenge criteria (i.e., 180) will be set on May 22nd for all the participants to attempt. When the contest kicks off, all invited participants have to upload as many best attempts (10-second videos) as possible within a 24 hour period (which makes participants feel like they're competing live). The public can vote for fun (it won't count in the end, more for the experience) and Jamie will vote via the app towards the end of the day. What's even better is that viewers don't have to create an account to vote, they just have to download the app (signing up to have to vote is annoying which is why we got rid of it). Users can share the contest via social media and other popular messaging mechanisms. The winner gets a cash prize (TBD) and the ability to upload a new challenge. When the new challenge is uploaded, the contest is live again and participants will begin to compete against each other again.

Why should you sponsor?

Tourney is changing the way that sporting events are hosted. Our app allows companies/brands to host contests in which pro athletes do not have to be in the same physical location to compete against each other. Athletes get the experience like they are competing in a live event as they have to record and upload their best videos within the Tourney app in a specified time period.

Social media video contests are boring because people can upload old videos, viewers can't find videos/submissions in one consolidated place, and because people don't know what they're voting on. We're changing the game in making the experience feel live, require new 10-second videos, set a clear contest criteria, and allow users to share these contests via social media.
