OUTDOOR AWARDS
Get paid for your photos and videos (no purchase necessary)
Managing Expectations: Please remember, if you’re on a professionally guided trip, you must follow the trip plan and listen to your guide. This is for your own safety. You will be disqualified if you disrupt the trip (even if your photo/video is amazing).
Are you a professional photographer or filmer? This awards program might not be for you. Contact us here, and we may be able to work something else out.
Terms and Conditions for Outdoor Switzerland's content program can be found here.

Any original (taken by you) photo/video or footage purchased from Outdoor. It can be from a trip booked with Outdoor (but it doesn't have to be) that captures what it means to you to live the Outdoor life. We want your perspective, your vision, your experiences!
We’re not looking for something specific. We can offer some tips on things to consider though. Keep your lens clean, choose the best lighting, have a story in mind and try to find interesting angles. Quality is important so try and upload the highest quality photo or video you can. Here’s a great article on photography tips that may help.
You can win your money back on the trip you booked or gear you rented with Outdoor. If you didn't go on a trip, you can win a voucher that can be used for one of our activities. NOTE: if it was a group booking, we can only reimburse the individual who took the photo or video. See our terms for further details.
Outdoor will make contact with you with directions on how to receive your compensation. We will make 3 attempts over a 60 day period to request your payment details in order to fulfill payment for your award.
