The mission is still to share the freedom and artistry of no wind kite flying and to feature fliers from all over the world. From underground flying to playgrounds, the walls have been pushed aside and torn down!
This event raises funding to support the World Kite Museum and the amazing events that they support. 2022 Windless is going to be a celebration of no wind, indoor and urban kite flying featuring you!
We invite you all to join us for the 2022 Windless Virtual Kite Festival on February 26, 2022! How will it work? The event will take place online using Google Meet. The Google Meet link will be posted shortly before the event on SATURDAY FEBRUARY 26, 2022!
The LIVE event will begin at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time) with intros and fly right into videos featuring you, and some live discussions. To experience Windless Virtual Kite Festival 2022, you will need to join in the fun at the LIVE event. A replay of the videos submitted will be shared after the live event.
Admission is free. A special ONE Time Featured Artist shirt will be available to purchase for the World Kite Museum Fundraiser.
How to Participate:
1. Make A VIDEO
Using your phone, camera, or your own creative method, create a video in LANDSCAPE FORMAT that is 2-4 minutes long of your Windless Kite flying. Pick a song that “moves” you, your favourite no wind or low wind kite and be creative in your space (wherever that may be). Because this is the Windless Kite Festival aim for a NO Wind or LOW Wind space or day to do your video.
2. Don’t Fly?
We invite you to join us and be taken in by the beauty, creativity, and the wonder of this unique sport of NO Wind Kite Flying! Share the group with your friends and family and invite them too! Kite fliers love to share their talents and put on a show and we appreciate your participation! Just click on the Google Meet link that will be posted before the event starts on Saturday, February 26, 2022, in the Windless Kite Festival Group!
VIDEO GUIDELINES:
All videos will be created exclusively for this event.
1. Videos should be 2-4 minutes long. We cannot accept videos less than 2 minutes or edit your clips together. You are welcome to edit clips and then submit your video. Please include your name in the video title. Your sound is what will be used. We will be making slight/zero edits to the videos.
2. ALL Videos MUST BE IN LANDSCAPE Format. If you are using your phone, turn it sideways so it fills your screen BEFORE you start your video. If you need a lesson in how to do this, reach out to one of the Float Team members and we would be happy to assist you but do this BEFORE you go out to video as we cannot fix it afterwards. 
Remember your phone should be in this configuration: <———————–> before you begin filming.
3. Your video should feature you, your kite, and your artistry. Be creative, have fun. Shorter lines make it easier to fly in Zero and light wind and will allow your video to feature you and your kite within the frame.
4. Have a good music source: Use a speaker or edit your music into your video.
5. We will use the FIRST video you submit so be sure it’s the one you like!
6. Videos will be accepted December 26, 2021 through February 16, 2022, via Dropbox.

Thank you so much for sharing this! The World Kite Museum and all the people involved with the Windless Kite Festival thank you! Everyone is welcome! And you don’t have to be a kite flyer to participate. Many of us got introduced to indoor kite flying by accident. Be sure to invite friends and family to join us!
I am tuning up Amy. Love to spread the gospel
I’m in too!?
Just repaired my old Bird’X by French R-Sky and in my head, I have a couple of ideas for a brand new glider. Initial flight at the Virtual festival? Yeah, why not?!!
