We officially launched the Seek Discomfort Video Contest last week, and we’re blown away by all the excitement so far! After the success of last year’s photography contest, we wanted to take things up a notch and give our community an even bigger platform to share their creativity. This is all about celebrating bold, cinematic storytelling and the adventurous spirit that defines Seek Discomfort. Whether it’s capturing breathtaking landscapes, daring stunts, or everyday moments of courage, we want to see your unique perspective come to life on screen. Our goal is to feature the most inspiring work and highlight the incredible talent that exists in our community.
