The Dirt Diaries Video Competition, fondly referred to as "the Cannes of the two-wheeled world, is the blank canvas of the Crankworx culture beat, encouraging cinematographers to push the boundaries of their craft. Specially invited by Crankworx, six filmmakers share a unique four to six-minute glimpse into the mind and life of a mountain bike athlete. Each video must include the Whistler Valley and Whistler Mountain Bike Park in a quarter of their film—from there it’s free creative licence. With a limited window of eleven weeks to film, edit and submit their masterpiece, competitors will see their visions become reality on the big screen before a live audience and a panel of judges at the Dirt Diaries event on Thursday, July 25, during Crankworx Whistler 2024, with the winner walking away $5,000 richer!

Many Dirt Diaries classics live on in legend to this day. Popular YouTuber Seth Alvo’s 2018 entry, where he taught a BMX rider how to ride mountain bikes, remains one of his most beloved videos.
Eddie Masters and his Vanzac crew will be back at Dirt Diaries in 2024 after their spicy parody of "The Hangover" took second place in 2016.
We at BIKE can’t wait to see the entries from the talented pool of creators in 2024.
