Photo Requirments
- All submitted photos must feature a Strait and Narrow Cocktail Can–the theme is “Out Of Office.” Your image can feature any flavour you wish, but it should show how you enjoy your time when you’re off the clock.
- Responsible consumption only. We are looking for apres content, this means cocktail cans cannot be consumed while operating a motor vehicle, on the water, in a hot tub or sauna or anywhere else that is unsafe.
- Images featuring alcohol cannot touch anyone’s lips. You can hold a can, pose it somewhere and even be cheersing, but you cannot take a sip in the shot. (This is not our rule; it’s a Canadian liquor law, we know it’s a bit weird. 😉)
- Technical specs:
- Images can be portrait or landscape orientation. Please be mindful these will be judged on social media, which means portrait orientation is easier to view; if you choose landscape, make it count.
- Images must be submitted in JPG, HEIC or PNG format with a maximum file size of 10MB.
- You don’t need to have a fancy camera to enter! Cell phone imagery is accepted and especially encouraged in the “Best Moment” category.
