Photography Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Photography Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your photography design is judged together with its artistic, technical, and conceptual aspects. Applicants should send high-resolution versions of the photographs. It is possible to nominate a single photo or series under one entry. The main image is especially important and should always depict a single photo whenever possible. Optional images may show details, zoom-in sections, or feature further images from the series. In addition to images, technical work, photography process and image capture or post-processing work could further be uploaded as support documents.
