The “Promotion” is open to all. It can only be entered using a GoPro at The Wave, Bristol.  

 

  1. 2. How do I enter?

You will need to submit your content through an Instagram account. In doing so, please use the appropriate hashtag aligned with the Promotion and make sure your account is public so we can view the imagery. Submissions must meet the requirements of the competition to be eligible including format, deadline and any other rules. Further, we advise you to consult the judging criteria listed below. Also, please note no purchase will be necessary to enter, however only imagery taken on a GoPro is eligible for the competition.  

Additional Submission Requirements: By entering a photo or video, you certify that the video is one’s original content, and the content does not infringe on any 3rd party’s rights. If 3rd parties (friends, family, strangers, or children) do appear in the video, we ask for you to receive permission to use their image. No mail-in entries will be allowed and any use of automatic programming to submit entries will be void.  

 

  1. 3. How is a winner picked?

We will rely on a panel of talented judges from The Wave and GoPro, as well as an independent professional photographer. This panel will pick the winner based on the particular criteria applicable for the Promotion with an emphasis on skill needed to produce the content. Our judging criteria will consist of Performance and style (25%), Composition and framing (25%), and creativity and emotiveness (50%). We emphasise luck will play no role in this decision as our judging gurus make the final call relying on their expertise in this field. 

Be aware the judges will not be required to provide feedback on each photo/video and reserve the right to disqualify any submission which is improper, unlawful, or breaks any rules of the competition.
