We are reopening submissions for more candidate photos to be featured on our Home page. We’ve learned a lot from our last contest so we can optimize the process. Here is how it works:
1. Timeline
- Submission deadline: Sunday, November 30th, 11:59 p.m.
- Publish 30 image candidates for voting: Friday, December 5th.
- Voting for candidates: December 5th - December 11th.
- The winners will be featured on www.zenfolio.com Home page shortly thereafter.
2. Theme
The subject theme for this contest is Winter and Winter Holiday Season. We will accept a lot of flexibility in the subject so a Palm Tree with Christmas lights will definitely qualify.
3. Requirements
The rules from the previous contest stay:
- Submitted photos should follow the subject theme above and be original works. They should make the viewer pause, take a deep breath, and admire the work.
- Our Home page requires horizontal images. Vertical images will have to be rejected.
- We like "Zenny" images. "Zenny" in this case means playing well with the overall look and feel of our site.
- The content should be appropriate for our Home page. Use your best judgment.
4. Submitting the Images
We are asking you to submit images by posting links in this forum thread. Please post the link to the image in the gallery, not the link to the JPEG file.
We will go through the submissions and add them to a special Collection, so we can review them. Please make sure that adding to collections is allowed for submitted images. We will have to reject submissions that we cannot view, or cannot add to a collection.
Refer to the following help topics for more information:
Links to image | Collections | Access Control
We will have to promptly stop accepting submissions after the deadline to be able to review the submissions and vote for them.
5. Picking the Winners
Our creative staff will review the images and select 30 candidates for voting. You will then be able to choose the top 10 winners.
The top 10 winners will be featured on our Home page.
To get the legal stuff out of the way, let’s agree that by submitting the image you allow us to use it on the www.zenfolio.com Home page. In addition, please verify that the subjects in your photos do not object to being displayed on a public Web site.
We are looking forward to seeing more wonderful images from you! You can see the finalists from our previous contest in this collection.
