Copa Challenge - Largest Online Freestyle Competition

[Adi]

Hello freestylers,

During the past number of years freestyle soccer and our community have grown globally and exponentially, and Copa Freestyle (www.copafreestyle.com) has created an online competition to discover new rising stars, new moves, and tricks that will amaze us all over again.

Beyond Football has teamed up with Copa Freestyle to host the largest online freestyle competition!  We have some awesome prizes and want to get everyone at Beyond Football involved.  As the admin of our community, nothing would make me happier than seeing all of you join the competition.
 
Our goal is simple – to crown the most creative freestyler in the world! We have assembled an esteem group of world renowned judges that will help in the selection; however, it will be the freestyle fans that will make the final selection.

The competition is real as are the prizes; our Grand Prize winner wins $10,000, the first such prize of its kind, along with a year-long sponsorship for mobile apps and games that could net even more dollars.  Besides the Grand Prize, there will be a $5,000 winner for the best freestyle photo.  Five additional $1,000 prizes will be given out by the judges as well.  

There is tons of money going around and all of it can be won by simply uploading your video or picture to the website.  Face it, you got nothing to lose.  Top judges and other freestyle fans will get to watch your video and you'll have the chance to win a load of money.  

Like I said, this is the first time Beyond Football is getting involved with another online competition.  We really want to make this a success.  Copa Freestyle came to us because they know we have the best freestyle community and freestylers.  Please upload your stuff whenever you have it ready.  We can have a lot more of these great prizes if we get enough involvement.  Let's come together and make this one badass freestyle comp!!!

Let's get a Beyond Football freestylers to win this!!!  Register for an account now and upload your best video (or picture) to www.CopaChallenge.com whenever you are ready.

Any questions?  Let me know...

UPDATE: April 14th

The voting system for the $10,000 prize has changed!!!

Due to people cheating with voting, judges will now make up 70% of the vote. The remainder comes from online voting.

This is much better. Post your video ASAP so you can help your chances with the 30% online votingportion! You still have time.

He was one of the hosts/MCs, both in Brazil in 2008 and South Africa in 2010.

Is there a good freestyle video of him somewere from a few years back or something? By good I mean good at that stage in time.

Otherwise I can't imagine anyone wanting to be the "next" Eli freeze.

It looks like there are 5 or 6 judges.  Sean is one of them.  Check out this page for more info: http://copafreestyle.com/copachallenge/judges/

I heard that Edgar Davids might be one of the judges as well.  I'm not sure if that's final though.

Each judge will pick their favorite for a $1,000 prize per judge.  Then, there is the grand prize for $10,000 which will be decided by the freestyle fans who vote in an open voting system.

When's the deadline for submitting videos/pictures?

The competition officially opened on January 3rd and closes on May 31st.  If I were you, I'd submit my video as soon as possible.  Make sure it's good though, so don't rush it either.  The longer it's up the more people will see it.

Check out the sample video that's uploaded on the Cope Challenge website: http://bcove.me/g0adhdad

It's more a commercial, but that appears where Eli Freeze is.  He seems to be taking part in some major events and commercials.  I think that's quite good.  Maybe he doesn't have extreme moves but he seems consistent and able to pull off the large events (e.g. Steve Nash event).

Check out his info on the judges page: http://copafreestyle.com/copachallenge/judges/

is valid to every country...?

Yes, anyone can enter.  It doesn't matter where you a from.  This is for the entire freestyle community in the world!

I would suggest reading through some of the rules: http://copafreestyle.com/copachallenge/rules/

Most importantly, the video needs to be 1 minute or less. Just read through it really quickly before you finalize everything.
