For 28 years the National Paddling Film Festival has been hosting a competition to determine the best in paddle sport videos and images. This competition has provided the paddling community with a fun and profitable event to support American Whitewater and river conservation. In that time, the NPFF has also helped to raise the quality of paddle sport entertainment by providing recognition of talent, along with important and useful feedback, for the artists who make the show a possibility.

Entries are now being accepted for the 2011 NPFF, so keep those cameras rolling and enter early for your chance to win. Additional information about the event will be posted at www.npff.org regularly so check back often for all the latest updates.
