Astypalea 2022

The new three-day contest format (June 9-12). Qualifiers and finals are no more. For the first time, participants will face a multi-part competition with three different challenges that’ll put all of their skills to the test during a collaborative three-day event. Red Bull Art of Motion 2022 will consist of three challenges and the top five athletes in each challenge will receive points towards their total score. The athlete with the highest points total at the end of the three challenges will be crowned champion. Red Bull Art of Motion 2022 challenges are: Exploration Challenge, Spot Challenge and Live Challenge.

Exploration Challenge. Astypalea is an island covered with amazing freerunning spots waiting to be discovered. So, to kick things off all athletes will get one day to uncover the location best suited to their skillset and film a clip that impresses the judges the most. Whoever makes the most of this dream location by the end of the day will take home the points for the exploration challenge. Here's how it works: athletes will have one day to submit three clips, but only the best clip will be judged, and all content will be shot, edited and submitted by the athletes themselves, working with each other to capture their best clips.. The top five will receive points towards the overall total and athletes will also select one of their videos each to enter for the People's Choice Award that you can vote for at redbullartofmotion.com.

Spot Challenge. The clue's in the name for day two's challenge. All the finalists will converge on the biggest track this competition has ever had and be tasked with filming their very best action clip. Athletes will all throw down at a predetermined location and will have just three hours to produce a 45-60 second action clip in collaboration with a videographer. The judges will then determine the top five athletes from the spot challenge based on the standard judging criteria of Creativity, Difficulty, Execution, Flow and Overall, for the creative value of the video itself.

Live Challenge. After a well-earned rest day, the final day's challenge is a "combo-style" competition, where all finalists will throw down short but powerful combos or massive single moves with a maximum time limit of 10 seconds.
