Two of the longest running video and photo contests in airsoft, the G&G Show Yourself Photo Contest and the Greatest Glory Video Contest, are now in taking entries. It is a surprise that they have started early, giving interested airsoft players who are creative and brave enough to submit their entries, more than enough time to plan and do their shoots.

With easy access and even better tools to take photos and videos these days, even with just the cameras on smartphones, these contests sure will get tougher but with the prizes that await the winners, they better work harder to create some of the best photos and videos for this year.

But before you dust off your cameras, setup your lights and set about with your photo ops and video shoots, it’s best for you to know more about the contests you’re getting into:
