Have questions about the contest, submissions, or anything else? We're here to help.
Anyone can participate! We don't differentiate between professional and amateur photographers. What matters is your eye and the story you tell, not your accreditation or gear.
We accept JPG files with a minimum of 2000px on the shorter edge. Basic editing is allowed, but we're looking for authentic moments that capture the raw essence of OCR.
You can submit a maximum of 2 photos or series per category. Choose your best work carefully – quality over quantity.
We use blind judging, meaning the jury evaluates photos without knowing the photographer's identity. This ensures fair assessment based purely on the quality and impact of the image.
Winners will be announced after the public voting period concludes. Check the timeline on our main page for specific dates, and follow us on social media for updates.
