Contest

Share Your WAYKS Story and Earn a Reward

Not just a contest… a guaranteed win.

We’re collecting short customer videos to share the real experiences behind our products. And this isn’t just a competition with a single winner. Everyone who participates will receive a prize as a thank-you for taking the time to share your story!

We’ve always believed the best stories about our backpacks come from the people who use them every day. Whether it’s your commute, a weekend trip, or an adventure halfway across the world, we’d love to hear how your WAYKS has been part of your life.

Here’s how it works:

Record a short, vertical (9:16) video of yourself with your WAYKS backpack, telling us in your own words what you like about it. There’s no need for a script, perfect lighting, or fancy editing. Just imagine you’re explaining it to a friend who asked about your bag.

Once you’ve filmed it, upload it to our submission form here: [Submit Your Video →]. The form requires you to be logged into your Google account. Alternatively, you can email a sharing link to marketing@wayks.com including a statement that you accept the Terms and Conditions of the contest.

Submissions close at 23:59 CET on Sunday, 7 September 2025.

What is there to win and earn?

Every valid submission will

  • receive a 30% discount code for their next WAYKS order
