  • Entries will not be accepted unless submitted via the official contest channel. Entries not submitted through the proper channel will be deleted.

Photo & Video Guidelines:

  • Raw images and footage only: no crops; no filters
  • The highest resolution is required; no blurry images!
    Photos: 2MB file size recommended
    Videos: 720p or 1080×1080 recommended
  • Original content only: all content must be owned by YOU! You may not submit professional photographs taken by someone else unless you have purchased/acquired the full rights to share/redistribute.
  • Clear all content rights: when you clear rights, you verify that there’s no material in your production that is going to get you sued or prevent the distribution of your production.
  • Multiple images & videos accepted per submission: you may submit as many photos as you would like with your entry (within reason). We’d appreciate it if you did not exceed 5 photos & videos per submission.
  • Eligibility: To be eligible for our contest, each Gorilla Playsets owner may only enter ONE time. If you do decide to enter more than once, we will use the photo(s) from your first submission for judging.
  • Accepted File Formats: .JPG .JPEG .HEIC .MOV .MP4

 

Photo Best Practices:

  • Make sure the entire Gorilla Playset structure (or a majority of it) is in the frame. Horizontal photos work best for this, but vertical is fine as long as everything fits in the shot!
  • Don’t zoom – it lowers the quality
  • Clean up all trash, toys, or furniture/organize the space before taking photos
  • Make sure iPhone/Android camera is in focus.
    Tip: when holding the camera up, point it at the shed and tap the screen in the middle of your playset – this will automatically focus your camera and helps avoid blurry photos!
  • Make sure your camera lens is clean
  • Lighting is best when the sun is behind you (the photographer)

One winner will be selected from this year’s Gorilla Playset photo & video contest!
