Philosophical Photo Competition
We organize photography competitions on our Instagram account based on terms from our glossary.
Rules and Procedures
1) The Photo Competition is open to anyone that wishes to enter.
2) All photos must be submitted via dm to our Instagram account by the respective deadline.
3) The submissions will be narrowed down by vote of an FPO committee, and then put to public vote on our instagram. The picture with the most likes by the deadline will win the competition.
4) The winner will receive $100, and the offer of their photo’s publication on the FPO website.
Details
The rights to the photographs remain with the participants. Any style and format is permitted, including digitally edited photos. Entries will be selected for overall quality, creativity, and for relevance to our theme.
