Young guns Snow
Got what it takes?
Got skills? Got style? Got the clips to back it up? Then let’s ride. With the help of Snowboarder Mag, we’re on a mission to find the best Young Gun on the mountain. And once we do that, we’re giving him or her $10k and a free trip to the Holy Bowly in Canada.

Here’s how it works.
To enter, post your best original clips on Instagram, tagging @quiksilver and hashtagging #YGSNOWCONTEST. There are no guidelines on what to post and no preference between park or backcountry. It’s just you, your board and a world of opportunity.
Feeling creative? Good, because Quiksilver is giving $1000 USD to the most creative entry, regardless of skill level. So have some fun and show us what you got.
You can enter as many times as you’d like. The crew at Snowboarder Mag will be your official #YGSNOWCONTEST judges, which means they’ll watch every entry and hand-pick their faves. Snowboarder’s Top 8 will move on to the public voting stage of the competition — that’s when things get really interesting.
And a quick heads up: If you’re not under the age of 18 on February 15, then sorry old man, you’re out. On the flip side, you need to be 13 on December 11 to qualify.
Participation is subject to the Official Rules.
Top 8
They came. They rode. They posted. But did they conquer? That was for the all-knowing staff at Snowboarder Mag to decide. The judges scoured every single entry and here are their Top 8 picks. Meet your quarterfinalists and give them a round of applause. Then get ready to put your judging hat on.
The Top 8 Young Guns will be put into a bracket based on how the judges ranked their clips. From February 1 - February 5, we’ll use the poll feature to pit them against each other in head-to-head matchups on our Instagram story. At the end of each 24-hour voting period, the Young Gun with more percentage of votes will move on to the next round.

Top 4
Remember when you helped us cut the Top 8 in half? Well, it’s time to do it again with the Top 4. On February 11 - February 13, we’ll host two more showdowns on our Instagram story. And once again, you, the public, will decide who moves on. This will set us up for the final — where all the marbles are.

Final
On February 15, the Top 2 Young Guns from the bracket will be featured on our Instagram story for the last and final round of public voting. Everything will function the same as the last two rounds of public voting — but one thing will be different. If you win here, you win it all. As in, $10k, a dream trip to the Holy Bowly and the official 2020 Young Guns Snow crown.
Remember this date — it’s going to be an interesting one.
