Arctic Adventure Film Contest Offers Helicopter Prize Over the Urals
A new travel film competition is inviting adventurers to explore the Arctic landscapes of the Republic of Komi. The contest, now in its third season, challenges participants to document their journeys across the region’s remote wilderness—without relying on motorised transport. The best video will win a helicopter tour over the Urals and a special diploma.
The competition runs until January 15, 2026, with all travel taking place between May 1, 2023, and the closing date. Participants must film their routes across the Urals, northern river valleys, and polar tundra, capturing the rugged beauty of the region. Each entry should be no longer than eight minutes.
Applications for the competition will remain open until January 15, 2026. The winning filmmaker will receive a diploma and a scenic helicopter flight over the Urals. Organisers hope the contest will highlight the untouched wilderness of the Republic of Komi.
