Cool Hunting

After a brief two-month open call for entries spanning a range of categories — from artwork to films — but all focused on skate, Element Skateboards recently announced the new talent who's bringing home the bread from their Element Audio Visual Awards. While most of the winners aren't big names yet, the purpose of the competition was meant to highlight and inspire the hard workers destined to move from the underground to "aboveground."

Standouts include Caleb Jack's ink drawing on a raw piece of wood and Maciek Salamon's incredible animated short film called "The Walk." Head to the site to see all the runners-up as well because they deserve every bit of attention and a job or two.
