Photo of The Day Award Contest

Jun 12, 2010 by Light & Composition Facebook Page

Explore The World of Photography
From the highest point of earth to the surface of the oceans, from the farthest points west to the farthest points east, the touch of human life and civilization reaches every corner. From the extreme adventurous environment to the busy market downtown, we explore. Experience the panoramic view from the top of the highest man-made building or visit the most remote villages in South Asia or South America, where the habitat is in-tune with nature’s rhythms to survive.

It’s an endless journey for every explorer, from one continent to the next, a journey that gives one an understanding of people, nature, and culture. When one feels it from the heart and captures it with their camera, it becomes an iconic moment which is special to share with the whole world.

“Photo of the Day” shares those very moments of our presence on this earth, from the purist’s perspective.

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT PHOTOGRAPHER OF CHOICE?

The rule of this award is simple: our elite team will choose the photo of the day based on the authenticity, standard, quality, composition, and presentation of photographs. We also give emphasis to skills, and how well the work represents the style of that photographer. However before submission one needs to understand what our magazine is representing. Please visit our Online Store and download the copy of our magazine for free.

Remember, our magazine is about seeing and portraying the world through the lens using a purist’s perspective. That means when you submit, your submitted photograph must have EXIF data and must be unedited or without any post processing. Later, if you are selected as a finalist for the photograph of the month, you must submit the original raw format of the photograph as well.

HOW TO REACH US

First of all, please visit the page PHOTO OF THE DAY and then

If you are confident enough for the challenge, email your submission to us at

photooftheday@lightandcomposition.com

Please include:
1. The link of your online portfolio.
2. The title of the photographs with the link that you want to submit for this award.
3. Your name & where you are from (city, country)
4. Your short bio.
(Please do not give any attachments, and submit only links of photographs, with titles. Those who send attachments before our selection will automatically get rejected as those emails are considered spam.)

WHAT TO DO NEXT

As soon as you submit this information and links of each photograph, we will email you back with the award date if we selected any of your photographs based on the above criteria. However, every day we are getting hundreds of submissions, so please be patient. We are requesting that you not send any submission more than once.

Once the photograph is awarded as the ‘Photo of the Day’, it will automatically enter into an online competition of ‘Photo of the Month.’ In this phase, the photographs will be evaluated by the number of tweets and re-tweets in Twitter, and Stumbles in Stumble Upon, Like & Share in Facebook (Like and Share will count separately), 1+ in Google, and LinkIn. In addition, it will also be evaluated based on the comments of our subscribers. Therefore, these evaluation scores are very important to hold the top position in this competition.

Our team will analyze this data and the winning photograph will be on the second page of our magazine, as the photograph of the month. We will also publish a special interview of the photographer in the magazine’s “Photographer with Style” section.

    To whom it may concern,
    I have a number of questions:
    1. I am interested i subscribing but I’m not sure of what an L book is. Is it the same as an E book that I can download to my i Pad? When I travel I do not have my fun computer with me only my business computer and my I Pad.

    2. In submitting your photos of the day or month, you specified that a link is necessary, can I designate a folder on my web page titled Light & Composition for you to view those photos I’m submitting or what would you suggest?

    Regards,
    Berlin Bailey

    Fantastic idea; love the emphasis on connecting culture. For future contests, I encourage you to consider redefining purist or adopting a holistic perspective instead. Software editing as dark room development is a necessary part of the process. I do not assume that a raw file indicates a photographer’s skill necessarily, but how they interpret and develop the scene as a process.
