XVI Pangea Routes Digital Video Contest

There are trips that are etched into our memories: that sunrise that caught you pedaling, the silly laugh in the middle of an impossible climb, the beer that tasted like heaven at the end of the stage… But there's something magical when you revisit that trip on video.
Suddenly, everything returns: the wind in your face, the companion who got three punctures, the smell of the forest, the kilometers that seemed too short.

Creating a video is, at its core, distilling the excitement of cycle touring in just a few minutes. And that, my friend, is an art.

Why we love this contest

At Rutas Pangea we have a weakness: we love seeing how you see the world from your bike.
Because every traveler has a style, a story, a way of cycling… and of telling it.

And here appears our problem (P1)Many of these audiovisual gems remain on mobile phones, forgotten among a thousand files.

Our promise (P2): give you the perfect excuse to edit, share and remember your best moments on two wheels.

Our test (P3)We've already had fifteen editions in which we have received incredible videos, which convey what we are: a community that travels, shares and dreams on a bike.

What we're looking for this year

Let us travel through your eyes.
We don't want blockbusters (although if you make them, good for you!). We want:

  • Emotion

  • A cyclist's perspective

  • Landscapes that made you fall in love

  • Authentic moments (both the epic and the clumsy ones)

You can record with a GoPro, your phone, or whatever you have handy. The important thing is History.

How to participate

Very simple.
Just send us your video following these guidelines:
