It’s always nice to be recognized for great work. And in the world of drones, it’s great to be a winner in the annual SkyPixel competition.
Drone giant DJI and its social platform SkyPixel have opened its sixth annual aerial photo and video contest for people worldwide. The content gives you the chance to win some cool prizes, including cash and some of DJI’s latest products.
Over 30,000 submissions from aerial photographers and videographers from 141 different countries for the Skypixel 2018 Aerial Storytelling Contest that was co-organized with DJI. In the Video Category the grand prize winner is Ain Raadik shared a collection of adventures from his travels across New Zealand, Japan & around his home in Australia. and in the Photo Category, Deryk Baumgartner takes home the grand prize. He shot that awesome image of Mont Saint Michel with his DJI Mavic Pro.
Like they did before, DJI and SkyPixel are starting the largest aerial photo and video contest. The competition will run from December 18th, 2018 to February 18th, 2019 and we expect many amazing photos and videos to be submitted. Contestants can win a range of prizes, including a Hasselblad X1D-50c camera, DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone and the new Osmo Pocket three-axis stabilized gimbal. See below for all the details.
DJI launched a new “Free Trail Program” that will allow you to receive your DJI Mavic Air sooner through a special Mavic Air priority shipping code. The program is limited to 1,000 applicants and DJI will select an unspecified number of applicants who may get to keep their Mavic Air for free if they agree to a loaner agreement and perform certain tasks that are to be specified by DJI. You can apply here.
You have until December 29 to submit your photos to the DJI & SkyPixel contest. So I would suggest go through your existing aerial or drone photos and see if you have anything worth submitting. Or better yet, grab your drone and get out there to take some amazing photos.
The prices are definitely worth it. How would you like to win a Grand Prize worth about USD $15,000 worth of equipment, including DJI Inspire 2 with Zenmuse X7 DL-S 16mm F2.8 ND ASPH, an iPhone X 256G, a Nikon D850 FX-format Digital SLR Camera Body, a Lowepro Pro Runner RL x450 AW II, a Manfrotto MKBFRC4-BH Befree Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ball Head, and more.
