<\/p>\n
To win the \u201cThe Ultimate Singletrack Contest,\u201d<\/a> which comes with $13,000 worth of prizes, mountain bike hopefuls submit a video of how they\u2019d train for the 2023 BC Bike Race<\/a>.<\/p>\n What does that mean, exactly? It means that if you win this contest (conducted through online voting), you actually get to compete in the event\u00a0\u2014 and you land a pretty sweet haul. The rest of the prize package includes a Rocky Mountain Instinct C70<\/a>, Shimano shoes and pedals, and a Lazer Helmet.\u00a0<\/p>\n But how should you approach your video production?<\/p>\n \u201cBe creative, make us laugh, make us cry, blow our minds if you want to win!\u201d the contest\u2019s press release said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Contest organizers will publish a shortlist of the best videos to the BC Bike Race\u2019s YouTube channel. There, the video that gets the most likes wins.\u00a0<\/p>\n Submissions will be accepted until March 15 \u2014 meaning you only have a week left to make and submit your video. Voting happens on the YouTube channel from March 16-22, with a winner announced on March 24.\u00a0<\/p>\n
