Diva and Conquer

While they divide and conquer work and family lives, today's outdoor divas still find time to climb, bike, hike, swim, surf, trail run and paddle. We thought it high time to celebrate these amazing women and give them some great gear and a chance to spend a day playing with one of our athletes.

Nominate your Diva!

Do you know any Mountain Hardwear divas? Here's how to spot one:

• She plays outside a lot.
• She's passionate about great gear.
• She juggles lots of responsibilities but carves out time to get outside.

Give us 300 words on why she is a Mountain Hardwear Diva and how Mountain Hardwear gear helps her out. Include a photo or two to illustrate her diva status. You can even nominate yourself if you want. We'll post all entries on our new blog devoted to divas of all walks, climbs and rides.

Prizes Awarded to Winning Divas:

• Grand Prize: $1,000 Mountain Hardwear shopping spree, training day with Mountain Hardwear athlete Lindsay Yaw, and mention in our ad in Outside magazine's Spring 2008 Buyer's Guide.
• 4 first-place prizes: $500 Mountain Hardwear shopping spree and mention in our ad in Outside magazine's Spring 2008 Buyer's Guide.

Mountain Hardwear diva winners (announced in December 2007) will be selected based on the submission's strength and creativity. Entries will be accepted September 24 through November 5, 2007. Also look for a series of fun-filled ladies' nights at select Mountain Hardwear retailers.

So break out those pens and start writing for our Diva and Conquer contest...as soon, of course, as you get back from your next adventure.
