-> countdown to entry deadline <-
This year we have a ridiculous amount of Grade A prizes to give away thanks to the generous donations from a long list of empathetic sponsors. So, if you are not familiar, here are a couple of Frequently Asked Questions regarding the contest.
How do I know if I am an amateur?
If you regularly get paid as a photographer/videographer/boater of some sort you are not an amateur. If you have average or broke ass equipment and cannot afford to purchase the rights to the music you used in your video, then you are an amateur.
Can I submit more than one entry?
Absolutely - you can submit up to 3 entries per person per category, so technically you could submit 12 entries total, although that would be a little over the top, right?
Do I have to be present to win?
Nope. We will ship your prizes to your doorstep.
Whats the deal with the entry fee?
The entry fee helps us to cover some of the costs associated with throwing this thing plus this gets you an event Tshirt.
What time does the show start?
We have to wait for it to get dark for the projector to work, so the show starts a little after dark thirty. Though folks usually congregate to start getting liquored up around 5 or 6 pm. Its a good idea to come early to sign in, pick up your event Tshirt, do some shopping, and win some door prizes.
Can I bring my kids?
This event is PG-13 until dark. After dark your on your own. Expect drinking, cussing, mildly inappropriate behavior, and hopefully some nudity. So, whether or not you want to subject your children to that is entirely up to you.
Who evaluates the entries and picks the winnners?
The entries are evaluated by a panel of 3 unbiased judges. Working through all the entries is a long, hard, tedious job requiring a lot of patience. Stay tuned for more info on this later
Should I bring anything with me to the show?
Its a good idea to bring camp chairs and rain gear.
Ok, that should cover it. If you have any questions not covered here shoot us an email at
3scumbags@teamscum.com and thanks in advance, this thing doesn't work without YOUR participation.
