Winners will be awarded a special trip to an Olympic qualification event, to have a behind-the-scenes experience of the qualifiers, and also have opportunities to meet top global athletes.

Olympic gold medallist in BMX freestyle Charlotte Worthington was quoted as saying by IOC: "I love the concept of the Let's Move Street Challenge; the three sports - BMX freestyle, breaking and skateboarding - are really creative. It will be fantastic to see a variety of age groups and levels embrace the challenge, getting creative and putting something of themselves out there."
