What to Enter, Eligibility and Judging
We are looking for colour, digital photographs of interesting and original objects in the home and garden that have been creatively spray-painted with Rust-Oleum spray paints.
Entrants must not submit images that involve damage to any public property or that infringe on the rights of any other person.
Images where the resolution is too low to enable judges to view the spray painted object, may not be judged at the judging panel’s discretion.
Please don’t manipulate your images. Photos that have been digitally altered beyond standard optimization (removal of dust, cropping, reasonable adjustments to exposure, colour and contrast, etc.) will be disqualified.
Images will be judged on the basis of originality and creativity. Tor Coatings shall determine winner eligibility in its sole and absolute discretion. All decisions made by the judges are final.
Once a photo has been submitted, the same photo (or a similar photo of the same object) may not be submitted in the same or any other month of the competition.
By entering the competition you agree that Tor Coatings can use your images for any purpose including PR material, web content and advertising.
All photographs will be credited with the caption “© Entrant’s Name.” Tor Coatings has final approval of any language that appears on its web site with any of the photos and will not promote or endorse third-party products or services.
“Show us your stuff” competition is open to UK residents, aged 18 or over, except employees of Rust-Oleum and Tor-Coatings and the immediate families of such employees.
