It’s getting pretty close to the start of the season again, and with the first issue of the magazine about to drop, we’re going to start running an insane amount of competitions right here on whitelines.com pretty soon. But before we do, we thought it was high time we congratulated a few of our lucky winners from last year. First up, massive congratulations are due to Nick Light, who won our Absinthe Films Editing Competition. Absinthe’s Brusti picked his alternative introduction to Neverland out from around 200-odd entries – which is some pretty stiff competition! You can watch Nick’s winning entry (along with the others that made the top 10) here – or check it out in the extras of this year’s DVD, Now/Here.

A big shout out also goes to Andy Upton (right), who submitted the best design for a Whitelines T-Shirt, winning himself the Ride/Whitelines Limited Edition Snowboard. He looks understandably chuffed doesn’t he?

The winners of our regular monthly board, boot, binding and outerwear giveaways were Bill Alpin, Elliot Lee, David Charlton, Taryn Reeves, Daniel Hayes, and Alex Heney. Tom Wright won himself an Arbor A-Frame powder board in our Draw the Line competition, while Scott Davenport won himself a Prior AMF. Dawn Wilbury bagged herself an Artec Venus, and Jon Paskett won £300 worth of vouchers to spend on Salomon Snowboards gear.

Paul Gough won himself a week’s accommodation with Green Mountain Chalets, Steve Taylor won tickets to see Pearl Jam live in concert, and Stacy Hudson won herself a brand new Xbox 360! Other readers won Westbeach limited edition jackets, Skullcandy headphones, limited edition Endeavor boards, Bataleon balaclavas and all manner of T-shirts, hoodies, and other goodness from companies like Park, Love Inc and Flex Boardwear.

A whole bunch of people also blagged their way into various snow-related events (Metro Show, Freeze, movie premieres) for free thanks to our ticket giveaways. We’ll be running similar competitions throughout this season, so make sure you buy the mag and check whitelines.com/competitions regularly for your chance to win some cool free stuff!
