In Collaboration with @slowspinsociety we are looking for the best creatives in the fixed gear world! Starting now until the 7th June, you have 8 weeks to capture a special moment with a fixed gear bike!

It can be yourself via a selfie, of your friend, a stranger, riding, jibbing, sitting at a cafe..

The only rule is a fixed gear bike must be featured in the photo.

The winners will receive clothing vouchers, a goodie bag with accessories and will be featured in a magazine.

This is open to Digital & Film (they will be prizes for both categories)

The panel of judges will showcase the short list pre-STOKED event and the winners will be announced on day one of the event (14th June). (Don’t worry if you won’t be in attendance on the 14th/15th, your entry is still valid – open to WorldWide entries)
