Key Content Considerations

Ih poly days 01

Want to submit a winning photo? It needs to capture the hearts of the contest voters and meet the technical contest requirements. Your entry is likely to make the cut if:

  • It's shot in horizontal format — never vertical (portrait mode)
  • It's a full-colour image — not grayscale or sepia tone
  • It's a nice, crisp photo that will hold up when printed at 10" x 8"
  • There are no watermarks, faded edges or artsy filters applied
