The photo art competition on our website was founded more than 3 years ago, and since that time we've been regularly rewarding monetary prizes. 100's photographers already got the money.

We have photo-contests in many different categories (six of the categories are "money prize categories) and every twenty - twenty four days winners in some categories receive a cash prize of $50-$200 minus transfer payment. Some money prize winners choosing by visitors voting, other winners choosed by professional Jury votings.

Please note - all little pictures on the main page are given as SAMPLES of categories ONLY and changing every day. If you see your picture on the main page it doesn't mean you won $100 prize! It's just a sample. The names of winners are published HERE and only HERE!

TABLE OF ALL CATEGORIES HERE

How JURY voting works?
Every jury member gets a special code (nobody knows the code is his code). It means everyone will know who take a part in our jury, but nobody will know who is who and how he has voted. It is important to prevent "a revenge" from other jury members and photographers if the Jury member gave a "bad" vote to somebody :o)
After every competition Jury member chooses 5 best pictures in 2-4 "prize" themes and gives to them votes. After that he (she) sends us his (her) votes and we count it and send prizes to the winners. We publish all the results on our site. We do it already for 3 years.

How VISITORS voting works?
Every visitor can vote for the photo he likes and we count the votings and give prizes in 2 money prize themes. We also check votings from inside (IP of the voter, etc.) and cancel cheating votes + blacklist cheaters. If you vote for the same work many times, if you give to good work bad votes, if you give for bad works high votes and do it REGULARY it is cheating.

Everyone can send photo to our contest. But you must be the author! Not pictures of somebody else took. Not pictures from internet, not scans from magazines, etc.!!!

Please follow the rules:
Your pictures size must be not less than 600x600 pixels and not more than 900x900 pixels and not over 200KB (for "Panorama" category the size is 400KB and visual sizes are High - 900 pixels and Widht - 1600 pixels)

Admin can change the category if he(she) thinks you put the photo in wrong category.

Bad quality photos, small size photos, photos with digits, photos with BIG copyright marks, etc. (it means ALL photos that not follow the rules) will no be showed in the contest, but on author's page only.

Please register at the site by typing in the register window your REAL email address. After you register you will get an e-mail from us and click on the link in the e-mail. We also must have a way to contact you if you win a prize.

Please don't put an attention on bad votes somebody put for your works - in the end of every competition we check ALL votes manually and we blacklist cheaters, ALL votes of cheaters will be cancelled. From the history of our contests you can see we have no bad works winning our competiton. We have been running competitions already for 3 years ans know all about cheaters.

If you are professional photographer, we will be happy to see you in our professional Jury. Just send us e-mail about you want to be a jury member and the links where we can see your works, that's all.

You may always post a comment under the photo or discuss the work in forum. You also can send e-mail to Admin of the site and ask so many questions you want.

Uploading your works to our competition you agree the rules above.

Recently we have got an opportunity to send photos on the page directly passing the stage of competition. But if you would like to participate in the competition with photos mentioned above, you could do that pressing the reference over that photo and by choosing the right category.
After that your work goes to the Administrator and if that photo corresponds to all Rules of the competition – you would see it on the page after the first update.

All works, which had been created not for the participation in the competition but for being shown on the Author page, will be marked by rose-white colour border. So why they could be easily notable. In order to help authors easily orientate on the Author page and better observe how their works looks like, we installed the system of "colour borders" around the photos. Now author immediately after photo comes out will be able to find out how it looks like. Sometimes because of problems with the Internet connection the photos don't comes out or you can't see them. So we can present to you the system of "colour borders":

- green border – your picture is on the "waiting" stage, so it is waiting for the Confirmation from the Administrator of the program to participate in the competition;
- red border – your picture is rejected because it not corresponds the Rules of competition;
- yellow border - this picture is overfilling the limits of this competition but can participate in the next one
– rose border – the picture goes directly on the Author page only (not in competition). Do not forget check the box on uploading form.
Only the author could see borders if he enter the system using his login. Visitors and users of photokonkurs.com can see only pictures accepted to the competitions and pictures uploaded (marked) "To author page only".

Contest results (winners) we usualy publish after 20-50 days the contest ended (because of we do it manualy and it is a very big and difficult work).

Every author sending the photo on the competition wants to hear the reference about it, so we would like to invite you to vote more actively on the website :). And, of course, your comments and notes are more than welcome. Because everybody wants to see any kind of replies about his work. You can see the "News" column where we are publishing all News around our web – competition results, innovations, etc. Don't forget us!


PLEASE NOTE:
If the pictures you have sent to our competition placed on 1-10 places we COULD NOT remove the photos. The explanation: we build pages of first 10 places MANUALLY. We have no time and money resources to spend for removing the photos and changing pages. Here the sample: if your photo won 5-th place and you want to remove we:
1. We looking for it and check
2. We download the page from the host to our computer
3. Remove it
4. We manually change the page - 6-th place go to 5-th place, 7-th go to 6-th, .... 11 go to 10.
5. We upload the page back.
So we DON'T do it. But you have another option - just pay for the work of webmaster $50 and the photo will be removed. Please be responsible for all you actions. We don't take money from you for participating in competition. We pay prizes from our pockets. We work with the site and have NOTHING for it. Please respect us and our time.
