(How to Enter)
Funny. Thoughtful. Arty. Adrenaline soaked. Or just plain cool. When it comes to subject matter and style, pretty much anything goes as long as it’s mountain biking related, shot in Washington, and legal.
Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in both photo and video categories. Make sure to not wait until the last minute to turn in your videos and photos. Due to time constraints, a limited number of videos will be selected to be played during the contest.

Mountain biking kids are eager for trails. Give the future a lifetime on bikes.
Your Mountain Biking Gift to Kids is MATCHED Before Midnight Tomorrow!
You supported an epic 2017 with more riders, more members and more record-setting trail projects. And did you know this year, women outnumbered men in our 2017 skills clinic participation?

How do Washington MTB trails stack up? We asked the pros.
A group of Team Epic donors has contributed a
$20,000 MATCH fund to DOUBLE your impact!
We love Washington trails—but we’re biased. So we asked local pros Jill Kintner and Luke Strobel to weigh in on the trails your donations support.
“Washington’s trails are unlike anywhere else,” says Olympic mountain biking bronze medalist Jill Kintner. “I’ve ridden around the world, and there're just amazing trails right here, and a great sense of community around them.”

Amazon & Fred Meyer: Two Easy Ways to Turn Retail Into New Trail
If every time you bought something you got an inch of trail along with it, you might not think it was that much. But if every time everyone bought something we all got an inch of trail we’d have something to ride!
If you're a Fred Meyer or Amazon shopper, there's an easy way to do that! Evergreen participates in Fred Meyer Community Rewards and Amazon Smile—and that’s essentially what these programs do. Every time you make a purchase with your Community Rewards card at Fred Meyer or through Amazon Smile—you earn Evergreen a little bit of funding for our trailwork--but over time that grows.
So if you do happen to be a Fred Meyer or Amazon shopper, please take a minute to sign up for these programs—with all of your help we could turn those little bits of trail into your next favorite ride.
Learn how to benefit Evergreen and Washington MTB Trails with these programs by clicking on one (or both!) below:
