EpicTV, in association with drone-maker DJI, has a Film Festival and contest, Rise of the Drones. It aims to “unearth the best aerial footage” of climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, skateboarding, skiing and snowboarding, BMXing, as well as BASE jumping and wingsuit films.
The first-of-its-kind festival is now open for entries. Submissions will be accepted here until September 30th, when a panel will review the clips.
Award categories include: Best Editing, Best Action, Best Continuous Shot, and Best Film. To qualify, films must be made of at least 25% drone footage.
