The contest is up for both designers and skaters alike where each team must finish and submit a design for a do-it-yourself (DIY) skate spot.

Fifteen entries from different skate crews will be given 18 days to lay out their plans to the panel as five teams will advance to the final round.

The Top 3 will be determined by skateboarding legend Jamie Foy alongside Didal and members of Skate Pilipinas.

In the individual play, skaters are given their chance to showcase their skills through a virtual contest.

Entries, a 30-second edited clip, must be uploaded on social media platforms Instagram and TikTok. Each video must also include a DIY digital sticker for it to be considered as an official entry.

First 10 entries will be determined through the number of likes from both social media channels.

For the second phase, a DIY obstacle must be provided by the respective participants and will be evaluated this time by the Didal-led panel.

The DIY design contest began March 9 and will end on the 27th while the virtual skills contest kicks off April 27. Entries can be posted until May 8.
