There are many photo competitions held in many places every year. There are more film competitions and more chances to win prizes. As long as your work is really wonderful, it won't be buried. Through the film competition, you can not only test your level, but also make many friends. Of course, winning rich prizes with your own photos can also bring returns to your photography investment. 1, learn to examine questions. Taking part in photo exhibitions and competitions must be like taking an exam. One of the best ways to improve the hit rate is to read the entry rules carefully, organize your own works according to the theme of the film competition, and put them into appropriate groups at the same time. 2, clear rules Now many photography competitions have begun to accept electronic image manuscripts, which is good news for many photographers. But there are also many problems, one of which is whether the works can be processed by image processing software. Some competitions allow the original files of images to be changed to participate in competitions, such as art competitions; However, some film competitions or groups in film competitions are not allowed to change the original video materials, such as documentary competitions. For example, the travel photography contest held by Ctrip. Com hopes that people can truly record what they see and hear on the road, so the photos required to be submitted "have not been post-processed and have not participated in other competitions". If your photos are post-processed, or you have participated in other photo competitions, don't contribute! 3. Understand the submission rules. Before submitting the manuscript, you must know the basic requirements of the contest organizers for digital photos and accurately control the size of electronic files. Taking digital photos to the film festival does not mean that the higher the resolution, the bigger the image size. Because the image is too large, it will affect the transmission and processing speed of the image. Generally, the organizer of the competition will stipulate the file size of digital images transmitted online, such as controlling them within 500k and so on. 4. Legal Issues Concerning the Handling of Photographs For amateur photographers, the most important issue in the submitted works is the right to use people's photos for portrait. Strictly speaking, if there are people in the photos of folk customs taken during your trip, you can't use these photos for publication or take part in photo competitions without the authorization of the portrait owner. The resulting legal disputes usually end in the photographer losing the case. If you want to make these photos more widely used, you must carry a power of attorney for portrait with you like a professional photographer and have your subject sign it. It is very important to choose your own entries and photos. Don't neglect the editing of your own photos. Although gold always shines, the value of gold in the soil is different from the value of gold made into works of art. The three principles of New York Institute of Photography can not only guide you to shoot, but also guide you to choose wonderful photos. Three principles of New York Institute of Photography about good photos: First, good photos must have a distinct theme. Second, a good photo must attract people's attention to the subject. Third, good photos must be concise. The three principles of the New York Institute of Photography about good photos are also three questions that every professional photographer must think about before pressing the shutter, and they are the secret of every successful photo. Under the guidance of these three principles, your photos may soon stand out from many entries. 6. Save the original image. Because the works participating in the film competition usually make post-adjustment in the file size, it is very important to save the original picture. The organizers of many competitions will eventually ask the winners to provide original images. If you can't provide the original image, unfortunately, your work will be disqualified. In addition, if there is a copyright dispute in the contest works, the original image will provide you with the most important legal protection. Participating in any photo competition should be like the slogan of our Olympic Games "Focus on participation"!
