How to Participate:
Participating in the Young at Art student photo contest is a simple yet rewarding process. Entrants can submit their masterpieces online at www.tsedore.com, where they will find details about the submission process, rules, and important dates. The submission window closes on May 31, 2024, at 4:00 pm, giving young photographers ample time to unleash their creativity and capture the essence of their artistic vision.
Contest Rules: To ensure fairness and uphold the spirit of the competition, participants must adhere to the following rules:
Photo Capture Timeline: All submissions must showcase images captured no earlier than January 1, 2023, emphasizing the importance of recent creativity and growth in the young photographers.
Student-Driven Editing: The editing process is an integral part of the artistic journey. Rule number two stipulates that any post-capture editing must be personally executed by the student, emphasizing the authenticity of their artistic expression.
Text-Free Entries: In the spirit of pure visual storytelling, participants are requested to submit images without watermarks or additional text. This rule ensures that the judging process focuses solely on the photographic content.
Submission Deadline: Time is of the essence. All entries must be submitted by 4:00 pm on May 31, 2024, marking the closure of the submission window for this year's Young at Art contest.
Image Format and Resolution: Technical aspects matter. Submissions should be sent in JPG format, providing the highest resolution possible. Participants using smartphones are advised to check their settings to prevent automatic reduction of image size, as smaller files may impact printability and affect judging quality.
One Entry per Student: Simplicity is key. Each student is allowed one entry, with each submission limited to a single image. This rule encourages participants to choose their most impactful and compelling work, presenting a snapshot that speaks volumes.
Conclusion:
The Young at Art student photo contest is not just about capturing images; it's a celebration of creativity, talent, and the future of photography.
