REWIND Women Yo-Yo Video Contest

Our next video contest is…
The [REWIND Women Yo-Yo Video Contest]!
One of the most wonderful things about yo-yo is that it’s an activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, nationalities, and genders. This may be an obvious statement, but yo-yoing is most definitely NOT just for guys. There are so many awesome lady players out there and the Women’s Division at this year’s World Yo-Yo Contest in Prague proves they’ve got the skills. Despite that, we don’t see too many women in yo-yo clip videos or up on the contest stage. Thus, this REWIND Video Contest is just for you, ladies!

Not only do we like to see more women playing yo-yo, but we would like to see more of you competing on stage! As a Special Award this time, we will sponsor the chosen winner for one official regional contest and pay their competition entry fee for one division.
(Of course, even if you win the Special Award, whether you choose to compete or not is up to you!)

Sound good? Come check out the details below!
