When it comes down to it, the bigger you are the more gear you could win. At least with Petzl’s Tikka2 contest, where you have the chance to win your weight in Petzl gear.
Headlamps, carabiners, belay devices, ice axes, crampons, helmets, and pretty much any other Petzl gear could be yours. And that’s just for the first-place winners of the photo and video contest. If you finish in 2nd through 50th place you still walk away with at least a Tikka Plus2 headlamp.
To enter, create a photo or two-minute video that shows “The Power of Light” or answers “what do you do with your headlamp.” Do what you must to spice it up because you’ll be judged by a handful of professional photographers or videographers.
But there’s a catch. If you’re one of the two grand-prize winners, your schwag can’t exceed 10,000 euros (about $15,000). Now wipe the drool from your chin and go shoot some footage. https://video-contest.tikka2.com
