Why this competition

Every rig has been somewhere

A muddy trail at dawn. A camp set up as the light drops. A recovery that nearly didn't work. Your crawler isn't a shelf model β€” it's a character. This competition is about the story in the frame, not the price of the rig.

You don't need a DSLR or an expensive setup. A phone, good light and a good idea will beat expensive gear with nothing to say. Scale realism, mood, a bit of dirt β€” that's what wins.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish

Shoot it, upload it, and let the judges do the rest.

1

Shoot your story

One photo. Your rig β€” or your whole fleet β€” your scene, your moment. Stage it or catch it on the trail; both count.

2

Upload it here

Post your shot straight to this Photo Comp page, with a short caption telling us the story behind it.

3

Judged by the pros

A panel of professional photographers reviews every entry β€” scored on the story, the scale realism and the craft behind the shot.

  • βœ“Use as many of your rigs as you like in the shot β€” one crawler or a full convoy.
  • βœ“One entry per member. Pick your best single frame.
  • βœ“Light editing is fine β€” colour, crop, contrast. No AI-generated scenes.
