We’re launching a monthly giveaway to celebrate your creativity. All you have to do is create a 10-second reel of your print in its new home. Whether you’re unboxing, decorating, or just vibing with your art, we want to see it.

Here’s your complete guide to creating a reel that shines ✨

✅ The Basics: How to Enter

To participate:

1. Create a 10–15 second reel featuring your print
2. Post it on Instagram (Reels, not Stories)
3. Invite us as a collaborator: @chamonixprints
4. Make sure your profile is public so we can see your entry

We choose one winner every month to receive a free print (up to A3) of their choice. Let’s get you in the running 👇

🛠️ Step-by-Step: How to Make a Great Reel

1. Plan Your Concept

A great reel starts with a simple idea. Some inspiration to get started:

• Unboxing your print — show the excitement!
• Before and after — how your space looks with the art added
• Home tour — end your clip on the print as the highlight
• Mood moment — candles, plants, and cozy vibes to match the artwork
• Why you chose it — a short voiceover or caption with your story

No need to overthink it — simple is often best.

2. Keep It Short and Impactful

• Ideal length: 10 to 15 seconds
• Stay focused on one strong idea or vibe
• Quick, clean, and scroll-stopping is the goal

3. Light It Well

Lighting is the biggest difference between “meh” and “wow.”

• Use natural light from a window for the best look
• Avoid harsh yellow lighting or heavy shadows
• If filming at night, use soft lighting or a ring light

📷 Top Tip: Test your setup with a photo first to check for glare or reflections.

4. Style the Scene

Let your space reflect your personality:

• Clear clutter around the print
• Add decor accents like plants, books, or candles
• Choose a background that makes the artwork stand out

Your print should be the star, but a little context makes the reel more memorable.

5. Use Smooth Camera Movement

• Slowly pan across the print
• Zoom in on the texture or color details
• Try a fun transition — from wall to package or blank space to full decor

🎥 Avoid shaky shots — prop your phone on a surface or use a tripod.

6. Add Music or Voice

• Use trending or aesthetic music from Instagram’s library
• Or narrate a quick backstory or “why I chose this” moment
• Match the audio to the mood of your space and print

Sound helps set the vibe — make it count.

7. How to Add a Collaborator on Instagram

Here’s how to do it:

📱 For Reels or Feed Posts:

1. Create your post or reel as usual
   Upload your video or image, edit it, and write your caption.
2. Tap “Tag People”
   You'll find this option on the screen where you write your caption (before sharing the post).
3. Tap “Invite Collaborator”
   Under “Tag People,” select “Invite Collaborator” instead of just tagging them.
4. Search and select the account
   Type our Instagram handle (@chamonixprints) and tap our name.
5. Share your post or reel
   Go ahead and publish your content. It won’t appear on our profile yet.
6. Wait for ChamonixPrints to accept the collaboration request
   Once we accept, your reel or post will show on both your profile and ours, sharing reach and engagement!

8. Keep It Real

You don’t need fancy gear or editing tools. Some of the best reels are:

• Filmed on phones
• Lightly edited with Instagram’s in-app tools
• Just plain authentic and fun

We’re not looking for professional videographers — just you being you.

9. Post & Enter

Once your reel is live:

• Make sure your Instagram account is public
• You can post as many reels as you like — more reels, more chances!
• We’ll feature some of our favorites and contact winners via DM

🎁 What We’re Looking For

We will choose a winner based on:

• Creativity
• Presentation
• Lighting and clarity
• Style or story

The prize? A free print (up to A3) of your choice, shipped straight to your door.
