The contest will as always take place at the indoor park Brädcentralen in Örebro, Sweden. The contest is sponsored by Wesc, Nixon, Vans & Eastpak, who also endorse Millencolin.

The contest will start friday afternoon with qualifications for junior and senior classes and finish saturday with semi finals and finals. Judges in the contest are experienced contest skateboarders from different parts of Sweden. Except the honor and trophy filled with prestige, will the prizes include stuff from the sponsors and more. Nixon for example have been making these special engraved exclusive watches for the winners. Last years winner Martin Gustavsson won in a special prize called "Punching Paris" which was a trip to Paris with Swedish skate mag no.1 GIFTORM where a big feature were made with him for the next issue.
They will develop the skateboard expo more this year and it will now be in direct connection to Brädcentralen for easier access for the public and contest visitors. The opening hours for the Expo will be the same as for the park that weekend.
