Contests

Jason D. Moore's Monthly Photo Contests

Jason D. Moore Photography hosts a monthly photo contest for our readers. Beginning on the first day of the month and continuing thru the last day of the month there will be an open call for entries. There is no theme, no requirements for how much processing is allowed, and no restrictions on who can enter.

Here’s the rundown:

Theme:
- Like I said above, there is no theme. You choose your subject. It can be anything you want.
- However, please use common sense when submitting your photos. I don’t think I have to spell out what types of images are unacceptable here, we all know what we’re talking about.
- Any images that I feel are inappropriate will be deleted from the group pool.
Who?:
- Anyone can enter! This is an open contest and we welcome submissions from amateurs to professionals.
Post-Processing:
- While this is a photography contest, feel free to process your photo as much as you like.
Entries:
- Photos don’t need to be taken during the contest period but they must be uploaded to Our Contest Flickr Group between the first and last days of a given contest month in order to be considered.
- Photos submitted for one month’s contest will only be considered for that month’s contest. There’s no rollover.
- Each person may submit up to 3 entries per monthly contest.
Judging:
- On or after the last day of the contest I will review the submissions and announce the winner here on the blog as well as any honorable mentions.
- I am the sole judge for the contest and will select the photo that I feel is the best all-around image of the month. I don’t have a set criteria for judging, but I look for composition, overall photographic skill, and whether or not the image is compelling (tells a story, moves me, has that extra “something”).
Prizes:
- US residents only are eligible to win the prizes.
- If you have any ideas or suggestions for prizes, please leave a comment or email me!
What to do if you win:
- If your photo is chosen as the winner of the contest, please contact me via email to claim your prize and we’ll make arrangements from there.

Prize For February 2010:

A copy of Scott Kelby’s The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2
US residents only are eligible to win.
Also, the winner will be invited to join me as a guest judge to select the winner of April’s contest!

Remember to upload your photos to the March Photo Contest Flickr Group by the 31st to be considered!
