Burton 2015 ‘Backyard Collection’ snowboard design contest happening now

Burton Snowboards has teamed up with Blank You Very Much for their 2015 ‘Backyard Project’ contest — your chance to design a new snowboard graphic that will be featured in Burton Snowboards’ limited edition 2015 ‘Backyard Project’ collection. Jussi Oksanen, Kimmy Fasani, and Jeremy Jones will each be judging designs created for their respective models, making the final decision after public voting narrows down the submissions to the top 50 entries. The grand prize finalist for each model will earn a $2,500 cash prize, plus the chance to see their graphic produced as part of Burton’s limited edition 2015 ‘Backyard Collection,’ which will sell in select snowboard shops across the country. The deadline to submit your design is October 31, 2013, so now’s the time to make it happen!

Check out Blank You Very Much for more details, and to submit your design!

“I¹d like something a little spicy and not girly graphic that breaks the mold for what¹s normally seen on women’s products.” — Kimmy Fasani, judge for The Tattletale
