Greeka Photos Contest about Greece and the Greek Islands

 
 

Greeka is organizing its first photo contest!

The theme of the contest is Greece and the Greek Islands of course.

All pictures uploaded in Greeka members’ area will automatically participate to the contest.
The contest has started for all pictures uploaded in the member area since 01/01/2008 and will end on 31/10/2008, while the results will be announced a couple of weeks later.

Why are we organizing a 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.


We inform you that we do not have sponsors for the following awards and that is the reason why we can not offer more. We have chosen Canon because we love working with their material and George Meis because we have a lot of respect in his work. Any sponsorship proposals are welcomed. We do not search to earn money but just to be able to offer our members the maximum.

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.

- Each member is only eligible for a single award.
- The photos must have been taken ONLY by you.
- Do not watermark or place any other distinguishing marks (i.e. name, copyright) on the image.
- We won’t accept photos from professionals. We define a professional as anyone who profits from their photography.
