How it is judged
How images are judged.
Every entry is evaluated for craft and for whether the photograph carries the story without needing a paragraph to explain it.
Technique
Exposure, focus, color, motion, and file readiness.
Storytelling
The frame communicates a specific competitive moment.
Impact
The image stops the panel and stays with them.
Membership makes the entry possible.
