Up to 50 bottle awards are available, but submitting does not guarantee an award. BAXUS may award any number from zero to 50 based on how many submissions meet the qualifications below.Awards are bottles, not cash or USDC.<h1 class="heading-node">Meet the Vending Machine</h1>Choose from three machines:<ul class="list-node"><li>House: $55</li><li>Club: $100</li><li>Reserve: $150</li></ul>Each machine has a curated bottle pool and published odds across five tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.Every completed spin reveals a real, authenticated bottle held in the BAXUS Vault. Keep it, or sell it back for 85% of its displayed retail value.<h1 class="heading-node">The assignment</h1>Create an original 15- to 45-second vertical video featuring your experience with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://vending.baxus.co/vending-machine/">BAXUS Vending Machine</a>.Tutorials, product explainers, first-spin walkthroughs, reactions, bottle stories, and other original approaches are welcome. Help someone understand how the machine works, why the bottles are interesting, or what makes the experience worth trying.<h2 class="heading-node">Requirements</h2><ul class="list-node"><li>Be a legal resident of Canada, the 50 United States, or the District of Columbia.</li><li>Be of legal drinking age where you live.</li><li>Use valid BAXUS and Superteam Earn accounts.</li><li>Fund your own spins.</li><li>Show the machine selection, spin, bottle reveal, and final decision.</li><li>Submit the finished video and original, unwatermarked footage.</li><li>Accurately represent the machine, bottle, result, and your experience.</li></ul>Authentic footage from a real Vending Machine session is strongly preferred.

Send it.Every materially different video is judged independently. More strong ideas give you more opportunities to make the cut. Repetition does not. Volume is not a scoring criterion, and each creator may receive no more than one award.<h2 class="heading-node">Available awards</h2><ul class="list-node"><li>Up to five highest-rated qualifying creators may receive a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://baxus.co/asset/9QxTjJn8t4xgRQcK8Wfw6H3qHAeULnnfzeYSJM1yaVxY">Russell's Reserve 13 Spring 2026</a>. This newly released, limited 121.2-proof bourbon honors Eddie Russell's 45 years at Wild Turkey and is already one of the year's most sought-after releases.</li><li>Up to 45 additional qualifying creators may receive a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://baxus.co/asset/J5xE5oSpxwurApy7HnvVhJvBxNSU7dtFhma3xptUNoVv?search_term=lehman">Lehman Brothers 8 Year Ashes of Disaster</a>, an irreverent 8-year-old Speyside blended malt built around one of finance's most infamous collapses.</li></ul>One is a serious chase bottle. The other is the kind of strange, memorable bottle you rarely find on a normal shelf. Both represent what BAXUS curation should feel like.The number of submissions received does not determine the number of bottles awarded. Final selections and bottle allocations remain at BAXUS's discretion.Awarded bottles will be credited directly to the recipient's BAXUS account and held in the BAXUS Vault. They will not be shipped automatically. Recipients may keep their bottles stored, list them for sale, or redeem them for shipment. Associated storage, transaction, redemption, shipping, tax, and duty costs are the recipient's responsibility under BAXUS's then-current terms.<h2 class="heading-node">Video examples</h2><ul class="list-node"><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://x.com/BAXUSco/status/2078491264782123179?s=20">BAXUS Vending Machine Conversation example</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://x.com/dirty_digs/status/2095908167452598492">Vending Machine Storytime example</a></li></ul>These show the level of clarity and execution we want, not a template to copy. Original approaches are encouraged.<h2 class="heading-node">BAXUS Network</h2>Strong creators may be invited to participate in the BAXUS Network.
