As you look through your portfolio from 2023 to decide which images to submit to this year’s competition⁣ keep these tips in mind⁣:

📸 Look for images that make someone stop and stare, whether it’s an image filled with story, emotion, detail or it’s an innovative angle! You want your image to stand out and stick in the judge’s minds long after.⁣

📸 Make sure the technical aspects of your image, focus, highlights/shadows, and cropping are at an award winning standard. It is very common for photographers to do extra editing on their images as they enhance an image from perfect for the family to winning awards.⁣

📸 As you decide on your Title, be sure to keep the point of focus in mind. Titles can add story and depth to your image but can also distract you so be thoughtful when submitting. Also know it’s ok to simply use a one-word title like, Strength, Power or simply leave it “Untitled”⁣
