Who is Tiger?
Tiger is a Danish designer store concept that began in Copenhagen in 1995. Since then Tiger has developed into an international chain store with over 220 shops in 18 countries around the world. The concept is a success in every country, and Tiger continues to expand with many more shops abroad.


Originally Tiger was a 10 DKK store (approx. 1.5 euro). Today prices vary - but all amounts are even, so the purchase is simple and transparent to the customer.

Tiger is a place where the customer can browse, explore and where shopping is fun. At Tiger the customers find things to surprise, inspire, amaze and change them. Something for the bathroom, the kitchen, the children’s rooms, the desk, the bedroom, and the living room, for Christmas, the holiday or the garden - things you need and things you didn’t even know existed.

Tiger is not and does not want to be like other shops. Tiger sells the fun, the new stuff and likes to challenge the customers. Tiger selects the products intuitively and with care. These are items with personality - they are quirky and off beat. Tiger sells designer goods in branded packaging and the quality surpasses the customer’s expectations.

Why the Tiger photo book competition?
A small action in our own world can make the world around us more fun and a richer place. This is what artists do - they give us all a taste of their world, making our own world bigger, more creative and more varied. Tiger wants to help bring out the artist in you and connect you with the rest of the world. We do this, for example, via a competition where people in all the Tiger countries can share their photos with each other online. The result will be a printed photo book where your personal universe will meet the world through approx. 220 shops.

What can I win?
The first prize winner will travel on a Safari trip to Africa for two people with a value of 4,700 euro. We include air travel, hotel and pocket money.

The other prize winners get published in the photo book, so your image and your story will be shown with 50 other contributions that the jury finds have artistic potential.

What will the book look like?
The book format will be 27,5 x 24 cm. It will contain approx. 100 pages and will be in English. The winners will have two pages each.

Where will the book be sold?
The photo book will be sold in all of our approx. 220 Tiger stores around the world. Find your store here

When can I buy one?
The photo book will be released around the October 25th 2013 and will be available in every Tiger store.

Who has the rights to the images?
As soon as, you have uploaded your image to www.tigercamera.com, Tiger is allowed to use your image in the photo book in other printed and digital media including on our products in all our Tiger countries. You retain the rights to your photo and may use it as you wish.

Who has the rights to the book?
Tiger has the rights to sell, distribute and reprint the photo book and to all other forms of use. This also applies to Digital Media.

Who makes money from the sale of the book?
Tiger is not interested in making money on this project - we just want to break even. But if there is a profit, it belongs to Tiger and we will spend it on more projects like this one - in which we hope you will participate.

How much does it cost to participate?
It is absolutely, completely and totally free to participate. And you don’t have to buy anything either.

Which language should I write in?
We would like as many people as possible to be able to enjoy all the contributions, so your words must be in English, even if this is not your language. We promise that we don’t care even a bit about spelling and grammar. As with the photos, there is no right or wrong, just things that work and things that don’t work.

How will my contribution be judged?
Your photo and words will be weighted equally, with a small bias in favour of the photograph. The jury will see and read all contributions together and select their 100 favourites. Then they will pick the first prize winner and the remaining 50 contributions to be published in the photobook.
