After a few weeks of hasty organization, Newschoolers.com is very proud to present our first-ever video awards: the JEAs!Since the forums here are always full of debate about the best movie, best skier, best trick, et cetera, ad infinitum, we decided to go ahead and make it official. Now you can nominate and vote for the movies and the skiing that have stoked you out the most this year!We’ve divided the awards into two categories, Pro and Amateur, so that NS can give props not only to the Mustafas of the ski community, but also to the young, playful Simbas who might one day grow up to be king of the jungle. And we've lined up some dope prizes for the ams from our official JEA Award sponsors listed below! Check out the descriptions below of each category, and then head for the Ski Gabber to nominate your picks for the JEAs. And if you're an am filmmaker ready to win an award, read the submission guidelines below and get us your movie!
