Questions

GOOD TO KNOW

Is it free to enter?

Yes. Registering and entering are free.

Who can enter?

Anyone with a verified email address who accepts the Terms and Conditions.

Why do you need the date and location of my photo?

Entries must be recorded during the competition, and some competitions are limited to an area. Your camera stores the date and, when location is switched on, the place. We read both from the file. Photos forwarded through messaging apps lose this information, so upload the original from your phone.

Are AI-generated images allowed?

No. Entries must be real scenes recorded by you. They are screened automatically, and a judge can review any entry.

How are entries scored?

Each category has a rubric that you can read before you enter. Automated scoring helps apply it consistently, and a judge reviews every entry, adds their own points and can reject or disqualify entries that break the rules. People confirm the winners.

Who can see my entries and my scores?

Only you, the judges and administrators can see your entries, and only judges and administrators see scores. The highest-ranked entries may be featured on this page and on the Winners page with your username. If you would rather not be featured, contact support and we will remove it.

How is my data used?

Entries are analysed by automated services for scoring and originality checks, as described in the Terms and Conditions.

When are winners announced?

After judging ends. Winners appear on the Winners page and are told by email.

I think my entry was refused by mistake.
