Themed Challenge: Editing

There has been one rule consistent throughout all of our competitions: no heavy photo manipulations allowed. For our second competition of the year, we’re removing this restriction to unleash the full potential of editing!

You won’t have to take photos for this special competition. Instead, you can edit any one or two of the photos (max. two submissions per person rule still applies) selected by our team in this drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Kdan98vz-ixwBZ5hoTy8cK8TZeNITQjG?usp=sharing

 Whether it’s minimal edits such as improving sharpness and colour or heavy manipulations to give the photos a completely new personality, be sure to unleash your creativity and show your artistic side!

Some Tips and Hints from Our Judges

1. A good and strong photograph usually does not need a title or caption to ‘tell’ us what’s going on. Think about what you want to convey – take into consideration the composition and framing of your photo.

2. Think about the various techniques you can use, such as playing with lighting or textures.

3. Think outside of the box. This month’s theme allows you to be creative and push the boundaries.

Only have a phone? No Problem!
We don’t care what device you use. Know its limitations and work within the confines.
