Entering photography calls well

Read the file requirements first. Calls differ on image size, resolution, and whether they take a series or single images.

Check the rules on editing and AI. Some calls limit retouching or ask for original files if you’re shortlisted.

A series often reads stronger than a single frame, but only where the call allows it. The listing says how many images you can submit.

Note who owns the rights. Some competitions ask for a license to use entered images, and the organizer’s terms say how far it goes.
