Time for Another Season of Shootin' & Taggin'
The search is on again for winter’s most-Niseko moments as the starting gun is fired on the 5th annual Niseko Shootout today.
The Niseko Shootout is Niseko Tourism’s Niseko Tourism’s official photography and film contest. The competition is presented by Niseko Tourism with support from Niseko United, Powderlife Magazine, Gentemstick, NISADE, Rhythm Japan and more.
Kicking off today is the Niseko Shootout Instagram Contest – a season-long hashtag-driven photo competition. The rules are simple – any photo hashtagged #nisekoshootout, taken in the Niseko area and between 1 December 2021 and 1 March 2022, is in the running.
That’s it! You’ll be entered for a shot at one of the prizes from our sponsors listed below. Additionally, the team at Powderlife Magazine will pick a shot from #nisekoshootout to be published in the 2022-23 issue of Powderlife Magazine.
Photos are judged across three categories:
- Ski
- Snowboard
- Open
