Iceland streetwear brand Nikita are celebrating their tenth anniversary in 2010 with another original marketing idea: a 200 page coffee table style book on girls who ride dubbed Sideways Sistas by local designer and editor Thordis Claessen (who created Icepick). But, in addition to the pictures and articles from Nikita's first decade, girls from across the globe are asked to submit editorial ideas - i.e. you.

You've got until April 30 to submit pictures, photos, words, drawings or anything else you want to share with fellow female riders - and the shred industry as a whole. This is also a chance to get your talent spotted.

Keep reading for further details on the project and inspiration after the jump...

If you're a budding pro-photographer, or play with film for fun keep reading: Volcom are looking for three stunning images to adorn their 'Photo Tee' collection for the Spring 2010 girl's line - with a year's worth of tee shirts and a chance to exhibit as a prize. But get your skates on: deadline is February 28, 2009.

Entry is easy - just submit your details and your chosen pic to the Volcom website, then wait for the winning three shots to be chosen. Be warned though, the standard of entries is damn high already so competition will be tough. Keep reading to see some already submitted and further details.
