SSTIKS FILM Festivals

The 2025 SSTIKS Traditional Kayaking Film Festival

What are our entry requirements?

1. The film should broadly reference traditional kayak or traditional kayaking values –  e.g. Greenland paddles or skin on frame kayaks, traditional tools, and techniques, Arctic life or travel, etc. If in doubt, just submit. Take a look at some of our past entries below for inspiration.
2. Be no longer than about 7 minutes. More or less.
3. Be viewable by a family audience.
4. That’s about it. We want your videos!

Where will the festival take place?

• At SSTIKS of course! We’ll have a viewing onsite.
• All films will also be available on the website.

How will the films be judged?

Every attendee at SSTIKS can vote by secret ballot. We’ll tally up the votes at the end.

Do I need to attend to submit?

No, feel free to submit even if you cannot make it to SSTIKS this year.

How do I submit my entry?

• Upload your video(s) to the platform of your choice and send the link to sstiksqajaq@gmail.com.
• Or, bring your video on a thumb drive to the event.

Can I film at SSTIKS and make a quick entry there?

Sure you can! That would be really cool!

Is there a prize?

Of course! In prior years, we gave out Golden Norsaqs handmade by Don Beale. This year?  Still TBD.

We want your FiLM
