Submit your photos to WildChina for a chance to win a cash prize!
In preparation for the fall photo expedition with Sean Gallagher along the Silk Road in Xinjiang, we would like to introduce the WildChina Photo Contest. Each month, a category of photos will be announced, and participants can submit their photos to photos@wildchina.com.
In the month of May, the category is People & Portraits – Unique captures of China’s diverse people.
See below for contest details:
Who can enter?
Anyone over the age of 18. Employees or contractors of WildChina and professional photographers engaged by WildChina are excluded.
What are the details?
Participants can submit as many photos as they’d like each month. Only photos taken in China are eligible, and we can only accept digital photos received as an e-mail attachment at photos@wildchina.com. Each entry should be sent as a .JPEG between 1 MB and 5 MB in size. We regret that any photos not sent in the correct format and size cannot be accepted. In addition, any photos that have been edited or altered will not be accepted.
What should I include with my submission?
Please include the following information with each photo: your name, month and year of when the photo was taken, and a brief description of the photo.
Reward
After the stated deadline, the top ten photos will be selected by expert photographer Sean Gallagher and then uploaded to WildChina’s Facebook page as well as WildChina’s Flickr account. Thereafter, viewers will have the opportunity to “Like” their favorite images. At the end of the voting period, the number of “Likes” will be tallied and the winner all receive a USD 100 cash prize. Prize can also be applied as credit to any WildChina journey of your choice but nothing else. If the winner is interested in planning a WildChina journey, he or she should simply indicate this via e-mail upon receiving the prize.
WildChina will contact winners via e-mail. Prizes will be issued by check and mailed to the location provided by the winner within 30 days of received details.
