How does it work?

1. Prepare Your Videos

You need to submit 2 videos for your virtual futurity entry:

1. Veterinary Evaluation
2. Frame and Movement

The footage you need to provide varies depending on the age of your entry, to see a full list of what is required, with example videos and useful checklists you can print off and take with you as you do the videos, go to:

Entries are open until 22nd August!

3. Send Us Your Videos

There are 3 ways for you to send us your videos. 

- Upload them to Youtube
- Upload them to Vimeo
- Send us a wetransfer to sportteam@britishshowjumping.co.uk

4. Video Checking

Our Team then need to check your videos, so please make sure we have them all as soon as you have completed your entry, and absolutely no later than 18th August. If there is anything missing, we will contact you.

To create a good video, remember a few tips:

- film with the sun behind you
- hold the phone in landscape when filming movement and conformation from the side
- make sure you send everything we need

5. Evaluation

Our teams will then work together to evaluate the entries. This process is scheduled to finish by the middle of September.

6. Feedback

We then send you an email with your results and a detailed report from the evaluators. We will also organise a Virtual Futurity Highlights Webinar with some of the best moments from the series.
