Photo clubs and schools

Contests just for your members

Show your members how much they are improving, without anyone having to write a critique.

First, the thing that decides whether this will work

A contest needs around 800 photos to produce a ranking anyone can trust. In practice that means a club whose members will each submit several photos. If your club is smaller than that, talk to us anyway — we can add photos to reach that number — but it is the first thing we will ask you about, so it is also the first thing on this page.

Why a closed contest is useful to a school

Your members submit to a contest only your club can see. Everyone judges. The ranking then shows who is improving, and by how much, without anyone having to write a critique.

Most photography courses provide recorded lessons and stop there. Nobody ever tells the student whether their photos actually got better. This does, and it does it with a measurement rather than one person’s opinion.

Two packages

Small package — $1,750

  • Three contests, one after another, across six months.

Premium package — $2,500

  • Five contests across twelve months.
  • Everything in the small package, plus your club marked as a Premium Partner on its profile.

How a contest runs

  1. You tell us the theme.
  2. We set the contest up for you.
  3. You send us the photos and their details.
  4. We create accounts for your members, or one account for the whole club, whichever suits you.
  5. We upload the photos.
  6. Voting opens, and we invite people to judge.

These packages are arranged directly with us and do not go through the app stores.

Ask for a proposal

Tell us about your club or school and we will send you a proposal.

An approximate number is fine. It helps us judge whether a contest will have enough photos.

Optional.

We use what you send here only to answer you. We do not add you to any mailing list. See our privacy policy.
