What should the video show?
The Puerto Peñasco Convention and Visitors Bureau—known locally as the OCV—says each production must show at least three qualities of the destination. Its examples include beaches, food, events, nature, sunsets, desert scenery, marine life, adventure, history, activities and family experiences.
That gives creators room to tell a focused story instead of trying to include everything. One video might connect the fishing heritage of the Old Port with local seafood and the Malecón. Another could move from a low-tide beach to desert scenery and finish with a Sea of Cortez sunset. A family-centered entry could feature a beach morning, a local meal and an activity suitable for children.
Whatever approach you choose, identify the real locations and experiences honestly. Do not use footage from another destination or imply that wildlife, conditions or activities are guaranteed.
Video checklist
The OCV’s public announcement does not list every final tag, account mention, residency condition, music-license rule or content-release term. Confirm those points directly with the organizer before posting so an otherwise strong entry is not disqualified on a technicality.
- Make the video vertical and between 60 and 90 seconds long.
- Show at least three recognizable Puerto Peñasco tourism qualities.
- Post it to Instagram between September 1 and September 15, 2026.
- Do not use paid boosts, advertising or other paid distribution.
- Use only footage, music and other material you have the right to publish.
- Follow the organizer’s final tagging, hashtag, account-mention and entry-identification instructions.
- Keep the entry public and available for any judging period required in the complete rules.
How the winners will be selected
The announced judging process combines Instagram response—including reactions and views—with a jury review by members of the OCV Advisory Council.
Reach matters, but it is not the only factor. A clear story, authentic Puerto Peñasco locations, good vertical framing, understandable audio and a strong opening can all help people watch and engage. Because paid promotion is not allowed, entrants should plan for organic sharing and genuine audience response.
Prizes
The public announcement does not specify the property, number of nights, blackout dates, transferability, tax treatment or redemption terms for the stays. Winners should rely on the organizer’s final written terms for those details.
- First place: MXN $10,000 plus a condominium stay
- Second place: MXN $7,000 plus a stay
- Third place: MXN $5,000 plus a stay
What is “100 Puerto Peñasco”?
The contest is also intended to help form a creator collective called “100 Puerto Peñasco.” According to the OCV, participants in this group may collaborate with the tourism office during the year leading up to the centennial and receive access to experiences for ongoing content creation.
The announcement does not say that every entrant will be selected or define the collective’s complete obligations. Creators who are invited should review usage rights, credits, deliverables and any exclusivity terms before agreeing.
Why the centennial matters
Puerto Peñasco marked the 99th anniversary of its founding in 2026 and is now preparing for its centennial in 2027. The anniversary is more than a tourism campaign: it is an opportunity to document the city’s fishing roots, desert-and-sea setting, neighborhoods, businesses, traditions and the people who have shaped its identity.
For visitors, the contest offers a preview of the stories and events likely to appear throughout the centennial year. For local creators, it is a chance to put a personal view of Puerto Peñasco in front of a wider audience while preserving an honest record of the destination at the edge of its second century.
