Photo & Video Scavenger Hunt
Findlay Hats are designed for good times. Combine that with the creative spirit of the Findlay Force and we can produce some pretty incredible results. What a better way to test these hats, create some cool photos/videos, and have some good times while doing it than with a little friendly competition and big prizes.
Introducing the 4th version of the It Stayed Brigade, a series of tests & challenges designed for the Findlay Force.
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 Four: July 14th - August 31, 2019
For a challenge to receive points and be deemed as “successfully completed” it must follow theses simple rules.
The basics:
Take a photo from the list below, and share it on Instagram. You will get points based on what you do. Those points can be used for your Findlay Rewards account. If you earn 3000 points you can get the Exclusive, It Stayed Brigade 2019 Limited edition hat.
Rules:
1) Photo or video must be taken or posted between July 14th & August 31. No entries from before July 2019 will count, previous years entries will not count.
2) Upload your submissions as photos and/or videos to Instagram or Facebook as a post. You must tag @findlayhats in the photo and #itstayedbrigade #findlayhats in the description. If you do not tag all of this, we will be unable to see your photo and count it for points. A collage of multiple photos is okay. Remember - post the name of the challenge in the post description and please share quality content!
3) Your Instagram or Facebook profile MUST be open to the public for the judges to view and must be your personal account. Be sure to double check that the photo is showing up on the Instagram hashtag page, or the Facebook "community wall" at the links below:

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. Check out https://www.findlayhats.com/pages/how-to for more info.
5) Each challenge can only be completed once per contestant or team unless otherwise noted. Each submission can contain a max of 3 challenges completed in the same photo. Photo collages/slideshows are okay.
6) Do not put yourself or others in danger. Do not do anything illegal. Do not do anything stupid. We are not liable for your actions.
7) All entries must be submitted by midnight Pacific Time on August 31st. Each entry will be reviewed by a panel of judges from Findlay Hats and gone through with a fine-toothed comb.
8) There are no teams this year, however we highly encourage to do these with some friends so you can all get the points. Multiple people can use the same account, but points will only go to that account.
9) To get points, you must have a Findlay Rewards account. Click the green present icon in the bottom right corner of our website. Enter your info to make a rewards account
10) Email your Instagram account or Facebook Name to info@findlayhats.com - we need your email so we can add the points to your rewards account.
The points will be tallied up and the standings updated via the Findlay Hats Instagram and on this page as often as we can. We have no idea the scale of this contest, so it may take a couple of weeks to get your points for the challenges.
If you follow the above rules, you will be given a score on the post within 2 weeks of the contest ending.
