Wanted: your photos and video

Decades of our lures have been in your boat. Almost none of it is in our photos.

We're rebuilding the website and we'd rather show your fish than stock photography. Photos, video, phone clips — send us your best. Everything that comes in goes into a $250 tackle draw every month.

What we're
after

Mostly just people fishing and having a good time.

Drags screaming, fish in the net, somebody grinning with a king they'll be talking about all winter. Sunrise out of Ludington. A kid's first one. If our tackle happens to be in the shot, better still — but we're not fussy about it.

What's in it
for you

One draw, every month. No judging, no shortlist.

Everyone who sends
$250

Monthly tackle draw

Drawn the first of every month from everyone who sent us anything that month. You don't need the best photo to win — a blurry shot of a pattern from 2009 is one entry the same as a sharp one from this morning, and a video counts the same again.

Either way

Your name on it

If we use a photo, your name goes with it wherever it appears — website, catalog, social — and your boat's name too if you give it. We'll tell you before it goes up.

Straight
answers

Who owns them?
You do, always. You're giving us permission to use them, not handing them over. Ask and we'll take them down — no reason needed.
Will you edit them?
Probably a little — cropped to fit, colour adjusted, sometimes a filter. What we won't do is add anything that wasn't there.
Old phone photos?
Send them. A blurry shot from 2009 counts the same as a sharp one from this morning — we are not fussy about it.
Video too?
Yes, and we're short of it. A drag screaming, a net going in, boards working in a chop. If the file's too big for the form, put it in Dropbox or Drive and paste the link in the box below.
What if there are people in it?
Make sure they're happy to be on our website before you send it. If it's a charter customer, ask them.
How do I know if I've won?
We draw the first of every month and post the winner on our Facebook page. You'll get an email from us too, so you don't have to be watching.
How long does this run?
No deadline. This is how we'd like to keep the site looking, not a competition with a closing date.

Send them

Or just email them to dw@teamdreamweaver.com if that's easier — a link to a Drive folder works too.

Add your photos and video

As many as you like, straight off your phone. Don't crop, trim or filter them — we'd rather have the original. A ten-second clip of a rod going off is worth as much to us as a still.

Photos JPG, PNG, HEIC · video MP4 or MOV · up to 200MB in one go

We read every one. You'll get an email straight back confirming they arrived.
