We’re blowing the field wide open again and inviting any SA surfer to take a crack at putting themselves on the coveted page 1 of Zigzag. All you have to do is nail your ultimate GoPro shot, and you’re in contention. It doesn’t matter if you’re a pro, working class hero or underground charger – anyone is eligible. Snap the winning shot and this could be you…
You can shoot yourself or others – the only condition is your entry must be taken with a GoPro (verifiable through the original file) and you have to be a SA citizen. There is no limit on creativity or angles employed, but our photo editor can sniff out a Photoshop fraudster a mile away. Any chooked images will be disqualified and the culprit sentenced to a lifetime of drop-ins by SUPs.
HOW TO ENTER:
To ensure magazine quality images, set your GoPro on hi-res photo mode and fire away (frame grabs from a video are not going to cut it). You can shoot yourself or others – the only condition is your entry must be shot on a GoPro (verifiable through the original file) and you have to be an SA citizen (with one exception: Namibian surfers are also eligible). There is no limit on creativity or angles employed, but our photo editor can sniff a chooked pic a mile away. Any doctored images beyond basic colour correction will be immediately disqualified and the culprit sentenced to a lifetime of drop-ins by SUPs.
The contest is open between 1 June 2014 to 31 January 2015 and entries are unlimited. All entries must be uploaded onto www.shotbru.co.za or sent to avg@zigzag.co.za. Please don’t post entries on Facebook or other websites / social networking sites, or they won’t be eligible (unless by prior arrangement with Zigzag).
Every month we will upload a gallery of the best and most popular submissions on the Zigzag site. Once the contests ends, a panel of judges will select the overall winner. That photo will then land the cover of Zigzag, score the surfer an interview inside the mag and a lifetime of fame, glory and good vibes.
Time to get shooting!
(*The fine-print: For any further queries contact Alan van Gysen on avg@zigzag.co.za. Zigzag and GoPro reserve the right not to run a winner on the cover in the unlikely event that no entered image is deemed good enough in terms of quality or action.)
