Welcome To The It Stayed Brigade 2021!

A photo & video scavenger hunt for the Findlay Force.

Findlay Hats are designed for good times. Combine that with the creative spirit of the Findlay Force and we can produce some pretty nice stuff. What better way to test these hats, create some cool photos/videos, and have a great time while doing it than with a little friendly competition and big prizes.  

Each task is assigned a point value and the harder the challenge is, the more points you will receive for successfully completing it. This will be a 2-month long campaign, with prizes & awards at the end.

Version Five: June 19th - August 22nd 2021

 

The basics:

Take a photo/video from the list below, and share it on Instagram or TikTok. You will get points based on what challenges you do.

Points earned go towards your It Stayed Brigade Challenge standings as well as to your Findlay Rewards Account. One It Stayed Brigade Point equals one Findlay Rewards account point. Points will be added to your account when the contest ends in August.

Rules:

For a challenge to receive points and be deemed as “successfully completed” and earn points it must follow these simple rules.

1) Photo or video must be taken between June 19th & August 22nd. No entries from before June 19, 2021 will count.

2) Your Instagram or TikTok profile MUST be open to the public for the judges to view and must be your personal account. ONLY ONE PLATFORM PER CONTESTANT.

3) Upload your photos & videos to Instagram or TikTok and tag @findlayhats, #itstayedbrigade2021 #findlayhats. A collage of photos is okay. Remember - post the name/number of the challenge in the post description and please share quality content!

***IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO USE #itstayedbrigade2021 OR YOUR POINTS WILL NOT BE COUNTED***

4) You MUST be wearing a Findlay hat in every photo and/or video submitted. If you are doing a challenge where you could lose your hat, make sure you have your laces down and tied properly for water sports. [update 7/20] If you are doing a challenge where you can't wear a hat for whatever reason, just having the hat in the photo is fine. Check out https://www.findlayhats.com/pages/how-to for more info on how to use your hat.

5) Each challenge can only be completed once per contestant.

6) Do not put yourself or others in danger. Do not do anything illegal. We are not liable for your actions. No cash value is given to any prizes.

7) All entries must be submitted by midnight Pacific Time on August 22nd. Each entry will be reviewed by a panel of judges from Findlay Hats and gone through with a fine-toothed comb.

8) No teams this year, however we highly encourage to do these with some friends so you can all get the points.

9) Questions must be posted below or emailed to itstayedbrigade@findlayhats.com please do not email general customer service with questions about the ISB.

The points will be tallied up and the standings updated via the @Itstayedbrigade Instagram and on this page at the halfway point, and the end.

If you follow the above rules, you will be given a score on the post within 2 weeks of the contest ending.
