Official rules
No purchase necessary. Entering is free, online or at the booth. You do not have to like, follow, share or subscribe to anything to enter, and buying something does not improve your chances.
Sponsor
Blackwater Outdoor Journeys LC, PO Box 1, Saint George, GA 31562.
Who can enter
You must be 18 or older and a legal resident of the United States. Employees of the sponsor may not enter. Void where prohibited by law.
How to enter
Enter your name and a real email address on this page. An email address is required to enter and to be eligible, because the winner is contacted there. Limit one entry per person and one entry per email address each week. Each weekly drawing takes the entries received from Monday 12:00 AM to Sunday 6:00 PM Eastern, and the drawing is made at 6:00 PM that Sunday. An entry received after 6:00 PM Sunday is not in that drawing, so enter again for the next one. Entries from earlier weeks do not carry over, and you can enter again each new week.
By entering you also join the weekly Blackwater email. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can leave the list at any time. Leaving the list does not affect an entry already made.
The weekly drawing
Once each week, after the week closes, one winner is chosen at random from the eligible entries received that week. A computer picks the winner with a secure random number generator, and every eligible entry has the same chance. We keep a record of each drawing: the date, the number of eligible entries and the winner.
Weekly prize: the prize changes every week. The prize for the current week is shown on this page before that week opens and does not change once the week has started. Any CAMPFIRE or app access is a free invitation or account upgrade sent to the winner’s email address. Any physical prize (a guide, shirt, hoodie or other item) ships to a United States address at no cost to the winner, and the winner picks any size or edition from what we have in stock. A prize has no cash value, is not transferable, and cannot be exchanged for something else.
Past winners: everyone, including past winners, can enter every week. A person can win a given prize only once. If you have already won a prize, we draw again for you only when a different prize is up, so winners stay in for the other weeks. We may skip a winner who does not reply within 14 days and draw again. The winner is posted on this page as soon as the drawing is done, by first name only. We never show a last name or an email address. Check back after each drawing to see if you won; we also email the winner.

The Skool membership is a free invitation sent to the winner’s email address and the app access is a free upgrade on the winner’s account. The prize has no cash value, is not transferable, and cannot be exchanged for something else. One entry per person; at the booth, one card per person. By entering, you consent to be added to our email list, and you can unsubscribe in any email. Online entries made on October 10 also count in that week’s weekly drawing.

Each festival drawing is made from all entries received from 12:00 AM Eastern on Friday, November 6 up to that drawing, online and at the booth together. Entries stay in for the later festival drawings. Someone who has won an earlier festival drawing is not eligible to win another one. Online entries received in that period also count in the weekly drawing for their week.

Winners
The winner is contacted at the email address they entered. A winner who does not reply within 7 days may be replaced by another random draw from the same entries. To ask for the list of winners, contact us.
Taxes and other terms
Any taxes on a prize are the winner’s responsibility. We may refuse or remove an entry that uses a false, temporary or borrowed email address, or that tries to enter more than once by other means. We may change or end the drawing if something outside our control makes it unfair or impossible to run, and we will say so on this page.
