PhotoContest Guidelines & Mechanics

6/15/2016

 
Updated  June 2016


Purpose. Focus Bulacan’s photocontests are meant to inspire improvement by providing an organized form of objective and subjective evaluation. Photograph entries are individually assessed, then compared to other entries, with these assessments being the basis for voting. The results and feedback of the contests should serve as critique, which in turn would guide the participants as to where improvements should be made in their next photos.

Approach. Contests are competitive in nature. Competitiveness - within the boundary of rules, fairness and sportsmanship – spurs improvement. Participants are urged to do their best to win contests while adhering to these guidelines. However, may we remind everyone that there will be winners, there will be losers, yet the ultimate goal is for participants to learn something from the feedback and critique on their photo entries. Winning isn’t everything. Wanting to win AND learning from trying are everything.

Methodology. Focus Bulacan contests are open only to official members and applicants. Likewise, only members and applicants are allowed to vote on the photos (plus an official guest judge). Entries will be kept anonymous so as to eliminate bias and make voters assess the photos purely on their merit.


PHOTOCONTEST MECHANICS :


  • Focus members and applicants may join our monthly PhotoMeet and Theme contests.
  • Make sure your photos comply with the category or theme of the contest.
  • Only one (1) entry is allowed per participant.
  • Do not put borders or watermarks or any other mark of distinction on the photos.
  • Resize your entries to 1000 pixels on the long side to make downloading them easier. JPEG format.
  • Post-processing is allowed, unless stated otherwise. Creativity doesn’t end at the click of the shutter.
  • Please rename your photo in this format “NAMEOFCONTEST_YOURNAME.JPG”, then email your entry to focusentry@gmail.com with the subject “PHOTOCONTEST ENTRY - NAME OF CONTEST”. For example : Night Life theme contest, rename your entry to NIGHTLIFE_ALDENRICHARDS.JPG and email with the subject PHOTOCONTEST ENTRY - NIGHT LIFE.
  • Entries will be put to a vote by Focus Bulacan members and applicants.
  • Do not upload or post your photo entry online in social media sites to keep it anonymous.
  • Not following these mechanics will lead to disqualification of entry.
  • Contest organizer reserves the right to ask for RAW copy of the entry, for authentication purposes.
  • To vote in our contests, please add Lito Litrato on Facebook (it is an account dedicated to facilitating contest voting, handled solely by Focus 2016 Competition Officer Amen Alcoriza). Contest voting is done privately by sending a message to Lito Litrato. Voters are strongly encouraged to offer critique together with their votes.

 

Do your best but compete fair. Good luck!
