Announcing the 2026 DWF Photo Contest

It’s time to kick off the 2026 photo contest! Each year, the calendar we produce from your submissions helps cover the operating costs of the forum. Unfortunately, last year’s calendar sales didn’t break even, and I’ve seriously considered ending both the contest and the calendar altogether.

If you enjoy the content and community on DWF, I encourage you to participate—submit your best photos, purchase a calendar, or consider becoming a site supporter. Your involvement directly helps keep the forum running and thriving.

Thank you for being part of what makes DWF special.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the ground rules:

  1. All photos entered into the contest must be posted to this topic.
  2. Each member can submit up to 5 photos.
  3. Do not submit photos that were featured in a previous calendar.
  4. Deadline for photo submissions is November 2, 2025. 
  5. Photos must feature Dan Wesson Revolver’s, 1911’s and/or accessories.  Mitchell’s and High Standard’s can also be included but a Dan Wesson must also be in the picture.
  6. List model, caliber and place of manufacture.
  7. List any modifications made to the gun, if any.

When submitting your entries please create a separate post for each photo. Please use the following naming convention when naming your photo files:

By submitting a photo you are agreeing to all the rules and regulations outlined below.

Thanks!

Jody

------------------------------------------------------------------

TERM

The 2025 Dan Wesson Forum Photo Contest begins October 6, 2025 and ends November 2, 2025 (the “Contest”). Information on how to enter form part of these official rules (“Official Rules”). By submitting an entry, each entrant agrees to the Official Rules and warrants that his or her entry complies with all requirements set out in the Official Rules. This is a skill-based contest and chance plays no part in the determination of winners.

WHO MAY ENTER

Contest is open to all registered members of the Dan Wesson Forum.

HOW TO ENTER

Upload photos to this topic.

The Categories for entries are: (1) Revolver and (2) 1911 (the “Categories”). Each member may submit up to 5 entries. Each entry must comply with the following requirements (the “Photograph Requirements”):

Photographs must be in digital format and include a Dan Wesson revolver or 1911 pistol. The photograph need not be taken with a digital camera; scans of negatives, transparencies, or photographic prints are acceptable. All digital files must be 10 megabytes or smaller, must be in JPEG or JPG format, and must be at least 1,600 pixels wide (if a horizontal image) or 1,600 pixels tall (if a vertical image).

Photographs featured in previous Dan Wesson Forum calendars are not eligible for submission.

The photograph must not, in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Sponsor, contain obscene, provocative, defamatory, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate content.

The caption must be complete and accurate, sufficient to convey the circumstances in which the photograph was taken. Disguising or misrepresenting the origin of your content is cause for disqualification.

All entries must be submitted by November 2, 2025 at 11:59:00 p.m.

RELEASES

If the photograph contains any material or elements that are not owned by the entrant and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and/or if any persons appear in the photograph, the entrant is responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the photograph, any and all releases and consents necessary to permit the exhibition and use of the photograph in the manner set forth in these Official Rules without additional compensation. If any person appearing in any photograph is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.

LICENSE

By entering the Contest, all entrants grant an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide non-exclusive license to Authorized Parties, to reproduce, distribute, display and create derivative works of the entries (along with a name credit) in connection with the Contest and promotion of the Contest, in any media now or hereafter known, including, but not limited to: Display at a potential exhibition of winners; publication of a book featuring select entries in the Contest; publication in the Dan Wesson Forum calendar or online highlighting entries or winners of the Contest. Entrants consent to the Sponsor doing or omitting to do any act that would otherwise infringe the entrant’s “moral rights” in their entries. Display or publication of any entry on an Authorized Party’s website does not indicate the entrant will be selected as a winner. Authorized Parties will not be required to pay any additional consideration or seek any additional approval in connection with such use. Additionally, by entering, each entrant grants to Authorized Parties the unrestricted right to use all statements made in connection with the Contest, and pictures or likenesses of Contest entrants, or choose not to do so, at their sole discretion. Authorized Parties will not be required to pay any additional consideration or seek any additional approval in connection with such use.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

By entering this Contest, all entrants agree to release, discharge, and hold harmless Dan Wesson Forum and its partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising agencies, agents and their employees, officers, directors, and representatives from any claims, losses, and damages arising out of their participation in this Contest or any Contest-related activities and the acceptance and use, misuse, or possession of any prize awarded here-under.
