Within 24 hours of submitting. We'll email you.
We'll tell you why (out of focus, off-theme, technical issue, etc.). You can resubmit a different image up until the deadline.

By us. We're looking for images that stand out—technically strong, visually distinctive, and aligned with the theme. Editor's Picks are featured on Instagram, in the gallery, and in our community.
No cash prizes or competitions. What you get is a curated gallery, potential Editor's Pick recognition, and visibility within a serious photography community. If the work matters to you more than accolades, you belong here.
No. Open to all levels. We're looking for intention, not experience. A strong image is a strong image regardless of how many years you've been shooting.
Yes, share freely. The work is yours.
