HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK
One simple and smooth way to submit to our competition is FilmFreeway. It is a platform mostly focused on Film Festivals, but they also accept photography contests, and live events of many genres. The platform is great, both for submitters and event managers and it is also an excellent judging platform for the international judges.
After you create an account, go to add project, select “Photography/Design”, and fill in the requested information. Each submission must come with:

– the author’s name
– the author’s country
– an author’s statement, or a brief description with a minimum of 5 lines and a maximum of 20 lines.
