My name is Sean Wilkinson and I am responsible for the Consumer and Digital Marketing for the bicycle accessories brand Knog and just wanted to touch base with you regarding a competition that we are currently running.

As you may have heard, Knog are currently in the process of organising the first ever Knog Film Festival here in sunny Melbourne. There will be some pretty incredible prizes up for grabs such as a Tern Bike, Globe x Knog Cruiserboard, Rapha apparel, Timbuk 2 messenger bags, Knog gear and loads more prizes soon to be announced.

What we’re asking is for people to put together a short video (about 15-30 seconds) of their “No Ordinary Night”. Shock, scare, amuse and entertain us! All we ask is that the footage is filmed at night and captures your imagination! These can be Instagram, Vine or Youtube videos etc. so you do not need to have any filming experience to enter.

This competition is open to anyone and the awards night will take place on the 12th October at Baron Said in Melbourne.
