How to Run a Photo Contest
How to Run a Photo Contest
Welcome, this is a how-to guide on the basics to developing a photo contest. This is a nice way to help organize your ideas and help to make your contest run very smoothly, with little to no problems.
Steps

Establish the details of your contest, such as the theme of the entire contest, and subcategories of the contest. Decide whether or not there is a minimum required donation to enter. Decide what prizes will be awarded, if any. Submit paperwork to the administration to get your contest approved.

Choose judges that are respected and well known by the majority of the people who entered the contest. You also want to make sure that the judges you chose will be unbiased and fair.

Create flyers and posters to hang up, and get them approved as well (if necessary). After those are hung up, spread the word! Tell as many people as you can about your contest.

Collect all entries. As the entries come in, keep them organized and make sure you have the participants name and information, possibly on a form.

Announce the end of contest and call for last minute submissions.

Organize the entries. Total all donations received with submissions. Collect any owed money. After you have all entries divided into predetermined categories, narrow each category to the top three photos.

After judging, find a location where you can post the winning pictures. Display the pictures so they draw attention to them and are noticed.

Locate the winners and award them their prizes.

What's your reaction?
