1 August to 18 August at midnight = Pictures from the community will be shared on social media.
19 August to 21 August at midnight = Pre-selection of the 27 best pictures (3 per category) by the jury.

5 September = Winners of the grand prizes are announced
Juries
We discussed the fact that amateurs, spots and brands were an integral part of the challenge but professional riders ? It was decided to give them power by including them in the competition jury. For each zone, one or more professional riders will be a member of the jury and will judge the photos to make a pre-selection. So it is the professionals who will judge the participants ! Maybe your photo will be pre-selected by Daniel Grant or Dominik Henler… These professionals will judge the Best Trick and Insolite categories. The Spot category will be judged by the professionals of the Spotyride team, of course.
Finally, the final jury is… you ! After the pre-selection made by the two juries, the selected photos will be distributed on Spotyride’s social medias and the community will decide the winners of Best Trick, Spot and Unusual ! We will tell you how at the time. Then the Overall winner will be chosen by the professional juries.
