How many images can I enter?

You can enter up to 5 images per category. Please note that unless you are Brookes Alumni, you will only be able to enter the ‘Open’ category, or the ‘Under 18s’ category. Brookes Alumni will have the option to enter both the special ‘Alumni’ category as well as the ‘Open’ category.

How much does it cost to enter?

All entries to the competition are free of charge.

Can I enter the same image into multiple categories?

If you are a Brookes Alumni and plan to enter both the ‘Alumni’ category and the ‘Open’ category’, please make sure that you do NOT enter the same image(s) into both. And by ‘image’, we mean the same original file – so a manipulated/altered version of the same file can’t be entered in a different category.

How many times can I enter the awards?

Each photographer can enter the awards once, using one Photocrowd account. Registering multiple accounts on Photocrowd is a violation of our terms and can lead to disqualification and account termination

Can I withdraw or swap an image once I’ve entered it?

If the awards are still open for entries then at any time you can remove an entered image and enter a different one in its place. Once the deadline for entries has passed, and judging is underway, images cannot be removed or swapped out for other images.

Do I have to sign up to Photocrowd to enter?

Yes, there’s a simple signup process to register on Photocrowd, which will then give you full access to the competition.

Can images be taken on a phone?

Yes, images can be taken on any device capable of producing a digital image of sufficient size for entry. For full guidelines on minimum image requirements see the Preparing Your Images page.

Do images have to be taken in the United Kingdom?

This is an international competition and you may enter photographs taken anywhere in the world.

Can I enter a photo that has previously won another photo awards?

No, any images that have previously won another Photo Awards cannot be entered. This does not include standard Photocrowd contests.

Is there a minimum size for images?

There is a recommended minimum file size of 2500 pixels on the shortest side. Full guidelines on image requirements are provided on the Preparing Your Images page.

Can I submit retouched images?

There are no restrictions on the use of digital manipulation. More information on image requirements are provided on the Preparing Your Images page.
