Shredders’ 540INDY Invitational
2023
Shredders’ 540INDY Invitational is the first-ever virtual snowboarding contest. It’s set up as a real snowboard event but actually takes place in the video game Shredders.
In the spring of 2022, we launched an open call to the Shedders players, and people from 31 countries competed in the qualifiers. The eight best were invited to the finals, which were streamed live on YouTube. A panel of four snowboarding superstars served as judges, and the show was hosted by two key industry players. The excitement was palpable as the world tuned in to watch the action unfold.
Shredders' 540INDY Invitational united players, fans, and snowboarders in a spectacle that transcended boundaries.
