How are the entries judged?
All entries will be judged "in the blind" by some of the most creative photographers on the planet! In the blind means that they do not know who the photographer is or the name of the image. All submissions are rated on the basis of creativity, composition, technical ability, originality, interpretation of the theme.
Below is a live shot of one of our evaluation pages. The beautiful image was by the amazing Francois Bogaerts and titled "Reitdiephaven" and was evaluated during our July 2015 Reflection Competition.
