Grinding competition for true professionals

Grinders are often working in the background. They are not always clearly visible. But say it, where would we be without these professionals. Good grinding work can make or break the end result. High time to give them the stage they deserve.

Enter the 2025 grinding event and win great prizes!

Every participant is a hero as far as we are concerned. The word loser is not in our dictionary. But every day there is a real winner who wins a nice prize, after all it remains a competition.

It's all about speed and precision

Points can be won on each section. Independent referees will award points. You can score points for completing the task correctly and the speed at which you completed the task.

I do love a fun challenge!

So I am happy to be a part of it!

I'm signing up!
