Submitting your images in a competition can be an exciting opportunity to showcase your work and receive valuable feedback. We will guide to help you through the process, from preparing your images to understanding what judges are looking for and the final submission steps.
Preparing Your Images
-
Image Selection:
- Choose your strongest images that fit the competition theme or category.
- Consider how each image aligns with the 12 elements judges will evaluate.
-
Editing and Post-Processing:
- Ensure your images are well-edited. Pay attention to exposure, color balance, contrast, and sharpness.
- Avoid over-processing; the image should still look natural.
-
Resolution and Size:
- Check the competition guidelines for required resolution and image size. Ensure your images meet these specifications to prevent disqualification.
- Typically, images are required to be in JPEG format, but confirm specific requirements (e.g., color space).
-
File Naming:
- Follow submission guidelines for naming files (e.g., including your name, image title, and category).
- Avoid overly complicated names; keep it simple and clear.
Participating in competitions can be a great way to challenge yourself and grow as a photographer. By understanding the submission process, preparing your images carefully, and knowing what judges are looking for, you can improve your chances for success.
