CON*tourage is super excited to announce a new fun way our fans can get involved monthly…visually….creatively…and win prizes along the way!

This monthly contest is a no-brainer and doesn’t really take much planning…if any at all. You don’t have to be a professional photographer by any means. You don’t have to own or have access to a expensive-as-all-get-out camera with lots of settings. Hell, this might be the first photo you’ve ever submitted to a contest! If you have access to a cell phone camera or a simple point-and-shoot camera then you are good to go. And yes….Instagram photos are do-able too!

The ONE requirement that you will need to include in your photo is the word CON*tourage….that’s it! You can do that several ways:
1.) If you have a CON*tourage t-shirt — wear it in the photo.
2.) Print out the CON*tourage logo HERE (.pdf file) and show it in the photo in some way.
3.) Write the word CON*tourage on yourself (or an object) and have it appear in the photo.

What does the photo need to be of or show? ANYTHING! Be creative…take chances….anything goes! Going out clubbing with your friends? Planning on hanging with a celebrity? Scaling Mt. Everest? Traveling to a foreign country? Found a funny/interesting setting for a photo? Feeling nerdy, sexy or a maybe little naughty? In the middle of no where, all alone and the sights are killer? Bachelor Party in Vegas? Really…ANYTHING GOES as long as the word CON*tourage is in the photo.

Sure…this is a damn easy and fun contest but there are GUIDELINES / DEADLINES so read on!
• DEADLINE for submitting a photo is the last day of each month (11:59 p.m.).
• EMAIL the photo (.jpg preferred) to: contourage@gmail.com
• In the EMAIL SUBJECT please put “Photo Contest Entry”
• In the email put your FIRST NAME and LOCATION and a short description/write-up about the photo. If there are several people in the photo, feel free to include their names also. Say as much or as little as you want.
• Each photo can only be submitted ONE TIME so if you don’t win one month, try something different the next month.
• You CAN submit more than one entry per month BUT photos must be different. (i.e. Don’t submit the same photo from just different camera angles. Who knows…one night out of the town might get you numerous photos as the evening develops!) Quality over quantity, friends!
• The word/logo CON*tourage must be “in” the original photo and not added afterwards with a photo editing program (i.e. via Photoshop)
• NOTE: CON*tourage reserves the right to post, edit, and/or reproduce any photos submitted for contest. Photos submitted may possibly be featured during future CON*tourage parties/events.
