6th Annual Show Us Your Bum Photo and Video Contest

From day one SunBum has had this running challenge to see who can tag and snag the craziest or coolest or most hilarious photo using the SunBum logo, stickers or products. SunBum eventually made an actual contest out of it and this summer they’re gonna make it rain (don’t worry, not literally) harder than ever. @SunBum Instagram

The contest kicks off on Memorial Day (May 28th) and ends on Labor Day (September 3rd). Every Monday SunBum will select weekly winner(s) of their favorite #ShowUsYourBum photo and/or video posted on Instagram. All weekly winners will receive a prize pack, be featured on the @SunBum Instagram and be automatically placed in the finals.

At the end, all weekly winners will be voted on by YOU, our social media friends. That’s right, you decide who takes home all the money.

1st place $3,000 USD
2nd place $2,000 USD
3rd place $1,000 USD

So… get creative, get your friends, get the dog, get the kids and get busy. Don’t cost nothin’, just post your photos and/or videos on Instagram using #ShowUsYourBum #TrustTheBum and @SunBum .

Spread the love… and stickers (email sticker requests to stickers@trustthebum.com), SunBum
