RICHMOND, Victoria, Australia (BRAIN) — Light and accessories brand Knog is launching an online film competition and festival that will award $15,000 worth of prizes to winning filmmakers who chronicle their nighttime adventures.
“Bike, skateboard, surf, dive — Knog wants to see it,” the company said in announcing the No Ordinary Night film contest.
Entrants are encouraged to use action cameras paired with a video light, such as Knog’s new Qudos action-cam light, or even a bike light as they film their evening escapades.
“Deciding to run a film comp celebrating those heroes of the night, those guys who are out there smashing the mold and creating awe-inspiring action videos in the dark, seemed like an absolute no-brainer to us. And having just released the (Qudos) action light for GoPro, this is a perfect opportunity to do something and celebrate,” said Knog CEO Hugo Davidson, who will serve as a judge along with Rolling Stone Australia editor Mat Cotye and Ben Welsh, executive creative director at advertising and marketing firm M&C Saatchi in Sydney.
No Ordinary Night runs through May 24, with the global film festival set for June 6. Prizes will be up for grabs from brands including Burton, Rapha, Levi’s, CamelBak, Timbuk2, Cycles Galleria and Tern.
