Why are we organizing an annual photos contest?
Just for fun. We personally own thousands of pictures from many locations in Greece and we think that it can be also very interesting for future visitors to Greece to see some members’ pictures.
Who can participate to the contest?
Everybody can, it is free. All you need is to be registered to Greeka member area. If you are not, you can register here.
We believe that photography is meant to capture a moment, convey a feeling, or tell a story and that it is erroneous to believe that in order for a photo to be effective or artistic it must have formal composition, ideal lighting or, and most importantly, be taken by a professional.
So, do not hesitate uploading your own points of view!
We won’t take into account of photos taken by professionals. We define a professional as anyone who profits from their photography. But professional can still upload their pictures in order to share them with others.
What kind of pictures can be uploaded?
All kind of pictures can be uploaded. Since we do not have sponsors, we do not have the possibility to offer many prizes by categories. So there is no distinction in categories, such as landscapes, people, architecture, black and white, etc. We won't accept photos compositions (patchwork) made with photos editors.
Any other sponsorship proposals for 2009 are welcomed. We do not search to earn money but just to be able to offer our members the maximum.

- All photos entered will be evaluated by a panel of judges. Each judge will simply select the 100 photos that strike them most for whatever reason. Then all judges will discuss about the pictures they have selected in order to annouce the top 100 pictures. There won't be any professionals in the jury in order to give equal chances to everybody. Professionals might be too academic in their judgements.
