Eligibility

The nuCamp Photo Challenge is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada. nuCamp employees, as well as immediate family (spouse, partners, siblings, and children) and household members of those judges, are not eligible to enter.

Entry Period

The nuCamp Photo Challenge begins 7-25-2019 and ends on 9-30-2019. Entries submitted before or after the entry period will not be eligible. Selected photos will be announced on the nuCamp website and social media channels on 10-17-2019.

What to Enter

For our 2019 nuCamp Photo Challenge, we’d like you to take photos that showcase:

A nuCamp product sitting within scenic landscape views capturing those awe-inspiring moments.
A nuCamp product including people enjoying the nuCamp lifestyle.

Hints:

If photographing the tow vehicle and Camper, the camper should be more prevalent than the tow vehicle.
If photographing the unit from the side, we prefer the door side of the unit

Entries should include the following information.

Name
Mailing Address
Email
Telephone
Unit in Photo
Photo Title
Where photo was taken
A brief caption that describes photo

By submitting your entry, you agree that the photograph(s) conforms to the guidelines and content restrictions.

By entering, entrants are 18 years or older and a legal resident of the US or Canada represent and warrant that the photograph(s) that they submit are their own original creations and do not infringe any other person’s or entity’s rights, including trespassing on private land.

Entries must be submitted by the original creator. Photograph(s) created by someone other than you but submitted by you will be disqualified. You must be the sole owner of the copyright of any photograph(s) submitted. Incomplete entries will not be accepted and will be automatically rejected.

To ensure eligibility for the challenge, Photos can be submitted as digital files measuring 2,700 by 3,600 pixels at minimum, in color. Larger files are encouraged. All photographs should accurately reflect the subject matter and the scene as it appeared. Photos that have been digitally altered beyond standard optimization (red eye removal, removal of dust, cropping, reasonable adjustments to exposure, color and contrast, etc.) will be disqualified, which is left to the panel’s discretion.

Entries must be digital files of color prints submitted electronically in a .JPEG or .jpg form. Multiple exposures that have been combined to produce a single “High Dynamic Range” image are acceptable.

Previously published material for which nonexclusive rights were granted may be entered as long as you still maintain the right to grant us a license (see “Your Rights” below). You must be able to disclose when and where the photo appeared previously to nuCamp upon request.

If you choose to include people in your submission, you are responsible for obtaining the necessary releases from the individuals depicted and must be able to provide copies of those releases to nuCamp upon request.

The following submissions are ineligible:

Photos that violate or infringe upon another person’s rights, including but not limited to copyright.
Photos that contain sexually explicit, nude, obscene, violent or other objectionable or inappropriate content.
Images taken more than two years prior to the beginning date of the challenge.
nuCamp shall determine entry eligibility in its sole and absolute discretion.

How to Enter

You may enter up to ten (5) images during the entry period, however only one winning photo may be selected per person. nuCamp reserves the right to reject any additional entries or entries that do not comply with these Official Rules. By entering, you indicate your unconditional agreement to, and acceptance of, these Official Rules and nuCamp’s decisions, which are final and binding. You cannot win a prize unless you comply with all requirements in these Official Rules.

Judging

Photos will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact, artistic merit and subject matter relevance to nuCamp.
