Competition terms

Fender Hunt 2026 — terms

1. Organiser

The competition is organised by NORBOAT AS / Båter i Sjøen.

2. Competition period and draw

Fenderjakten runs during Båter i Sjøen, 27–30 August 2026. Winners are drawn at random after the fair and contacted shortly afterwards.

3. How to enter

Come to the fair, find one of the marked fenders on the grounds, scan the QR code on the fender and register your find with your email address. Every fender you find and register counts — the more you find, the better your chances.

4. Valid entry

To enter, you must attend the fair grounds in person and scan at least one fender. Your admission ticket gives access to the fair but does not automatically enter you in Fenderjakten — you must scan at least one fender and register the find.

5. Entry is free

Entering Fenderjakten costs nothing beyond an ordinary admission ticket to the fair. The ticket price is not increased because of the competition, and it is not possible to buy extra entries or chances to win.

6. Bonus entries for early ticket purchase

If you buy an admission ticket by 20 August 2026, you receive five bonus entries in the draw. The bonus entries are only activated once you attend the fair and scan at least one fender. The bonus is granted at most once per person, regardless of how many tickets you buy — more tickets do not give more bonus entries. The bonus does not require buying entries or signing up for the newsletter.

7. Drawing the winners

Winners are drawn at random among all valid entrants after the competition ends. Winners are contacted at the email address used when registering, and must respond within seven days. If a winner does not respond within the deadline, the organiser may draw a new winner.

8. Who can enter?

The competition is open to persons resident in Norway. Entrants under 18 must have parental consent. Employees of the organiser and their immediate family may not enter.

9. Prizes

The prizes are a River 290 with a 6 hp Tohatsu engine supplied by River Boats and Kellox, a smartwatch from Garmin and a Skippo subscription. Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash. Any expenses not expressly stated are not included.

10. Privacy

The organiser processes your email address (and name/phone if you provide them) solely to run the competition and to draw and contact winners. The information is not used for newsletters or other marketing without separate consent, and is deleted no later than 90 days after the draw has been completed. See our privacy policy.

Best Boat Photo 2026 — terms

1. Organiser

The competition is organised by NORBOAT / Båter i Sjøen. The prize is sponsored by Skippo.

2. Competition period

The competition runs from 1 July 2026 at 00:00 to 30 August 2026 at 23:59. Entries published after the deadline are not included in the draw.

3. How to enter

To enter, you must:

  • Publish your own boat or sea photo publicly on Instagram.
  • Use the hashtag #baterisjoen26.
  • Tag @bater_i_sjoen.

Your Instagram profile and the competition post must remain public until the winner has been contacted. Entry is free, and no purchase is necessary.

4. Who can enter?

The competition is open to persons resident in Norway. Entrants under 18 must have parental consent. Employees of the organiser and the prize sponsor, and their immediate family, may not enter.

5. Drawing the winner

One winner is drawn at random among all valid entries after the competition ends. The quality of the photo does not affect the chance of winning.

The winner is contacted by direct message from @bater_i_sjoen. The winner must respond within seven days. If the winner does not respond within the deadline, the organiser may draw a new winner.

6. Prize

The prize is a one-year Skippo subscription.

The prize cannot be exchanged for cash. Any travel costs, delivery costs or other expenses not expressly stated are not included.

7. Rights to the photo

The entrant confirms that they took the photo themselves or otherwise hold the rights needed to publish it. The entrant must also have permission from identifiable people in the photo — this is especially important if children appear in it. Portrait photos as a rule require the consent of those depicted, and parents or guardians must consent on behalf of children.

By entering, the entrant grants NORBOAT / Båter i Sjøen and Skippo a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to share the entry on their own websites and in organic social media in connection with the competition, crediting the photographer. The photographer retains the copyright. Use in paid advertising or other campaigns is agreed separately.

8. Privacy

The organiser processes Instagram usernames and any contact details to administer the competition, draw and contact the winner and deliver the prize. The information is not used for newsletters or other direct marketing without separate consent, and is deleted when it is no longer needed. See our privacy policy.

9. Instagram

The competition is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or otherwise associated with, Instagram. By entering, participants release Instagram from any liability connected with the competition.
