Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Entry Submission

A QR on competition posters and social posts links to the entry submission form: image upload, title, description, and entrant details. Standardised submissions are easier to judge.

2. Competition Brief and Rules

A QR links to the full brief: theme, required format, resolution, file naming, deadline, judging criteria, and prize details. Entrants download and reference it without hunting through social media.

3. Shortlist Voting

A QR links to the public voting page for shortlisted entries. Community votes contribute to the people's choice award. Sharing the voting link also promotes the competition.

4. Winner Announcement

A QR on physical exhibition prints links to the winner announcement page with judge comments, photographer profiles, and purchase options for the winning images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should a photography competition QR entry form require account creation?

Minimise friction. Email and name for contact plus the image upload is sufficient. Add account creation only if you want a long-term entrant relationship.

Can a QR link to high-resolution judging images for print competition?

Yes via a secure download link. Restrict to judges only until the competition closes, then open publicly if the entrant consented to display.
