When?
A link to view the event will be posted on Facebook a few hours prior to the start of the event. The event will start at 11 AM (PT) on April 4th, 2026. Feel free to join in as the livestream begins.
Video Requirements:
- Videos should be 2-4 minutes. We will not be accepting videos submitted under 2 minutes long.
- Videos must be in 16×9 “landscape” mode. This means to rotate your phone so the long axis is following the horizon.
- If possible, try to shoot your video in at least 1080p video resolution.
- Videos should be submitted in a MP4 video format.
- This is an all-age friendly event. Music must match that description.
- Make sure your music is clear to hear. Editing sound directly to your video will have the best results.
- Your first submission is final. Do not submit more than one video.
The deadline to submit is: March 28th, 2026

Notes:
Your video should feature you, your kite, and your artistry. Be creative, have fun. Shorter lines make it easier to fly in zero to low wind, also making it easier to fit you and your kite in the camera view at the same time.
If there are any questions about the guidelines or you have issues submitting, feel free to reach out to us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
