As the ancients said: Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never lose a battle. This means that understanding your opponent gives you a better chance of defeating them. Likewise, choosing a way of "fighting" that suits you can greatly increase your odds of success. The proposal submission period for the 6th edition of the 2012 "Gore-Tex Outdoor Dreams Realization Campaign" has quietly passed the halfway mark. Outdoor enthusiasts should quickly submit their outdoor dreams online. So, how can you have the chance to get funding and gear from Gore to realize your dream? The subsite "category index" will lend you a helping hand.

For outdoor enthusiasts who have a certain level of outdoor experience, can handle various complex terrains and changeable weather conditions, and dare to challenge their physical and mental limits with professional knowledge and vision, they can submit their dreams through subsites such as Green Field, 8264, 517 Outdoor, Yuantuo Outdoor, and Sanfo Outdoor. Because these are professional platforms, the competition is quite fierce here, and winning first place is no easy feat. However, outstanding proposals that stand out on the 8264 subsite will receive generous prizes such as Adidas professional outdoor shoes.
Public Channel
"I'm just an ordinary person with no experience—can I still participate?" The answer is definitely yes. Regular consumers can choose a subsite that interests them based on their own characteristics to submit their proposals: the Sina and NetEase subsites are widely known and more convenient to participate in; while the Biao Wang-Shenge subsite is specifically targeted at outdoor enthusiasts in the Northeast, where competition is relatively mild; by participating via the Ku6 subsite, you can submit your proposal using video and text to present your personal dream movie. Proposals submitted through these four public platforms—if selected—can win outdoor gear from brands such as Lafuma, Millet, La new, and Northland.
