No Rules Snoukka

No Rules Snoukka is a documentary short film about the journey of Tiia, who took up park snowboarding at the age of 30. It is a story about courage, community, and the people who have inspired, helped, and encouraged her to keep going.

The film brings together people from diverse backgrounds and skill levels—from an adult hobbyist to an Olympic-level rider—united by the same snow. Seven years later, Tiia continues to challenge herself on the snowboard, but above all, she enjoys riding on her own terms.

No Rules Snoukka reminds us that it is never too late to start, to improve, or to do things your own way.

Riders: Tiia Knaapi, Janne Lipsanen, Carola Niemelä, Laura Nurmi, Mira Tiuraniemi

Filming: Johanna Ketola and a few assistants

Editing: Johanna Ketola, Tiia Knaapi

• The prize won is production support to help kick-start the next film project. Although it is known that the support is not a giant budget, it is a starting point—and with the right planning, great things are possible.
• To keep everything fair and transparent, a clear plan of how the money will be used in the project is requested—this ensures that the support truly serves future creative work. For example, it can be used for shooting trip expenses, purchasing a new camera lens, or investing in editing software.
• Information regarding when the new project will start is appreciated so everything can be scheduled around it. If the project is delayed, no worries—flexibility is provided.
• Full rights to the material are retained—it is the creator's work. The only request is to include the Ruka logo in the new project.

• The application period is from August 28 to September 18 at 23:59.
• The jury will pre-screen and select the finalist projects from the applications, which will be shown at the DIY movie night on October 2, 2026, at Restaurant Piste. At the event, the finalists will get to say a few words about their film in connection with the screening.
• The audience present will vote for the winners. The three best movies will be awarded, with the winner receiving a production grant of 1,000 euros.
