Frequently asked questions
Yes, the usual corrections are possible, but also montages. Just make sure that you don't include anything that wasn't taken by you. However, the use of an AI is not permitted.
Unfortunately this is not possible. The pictures will be anonymized so that the jury can neutrally assess which photos are the best. Regardless of who took them or the story behind them. Since the pictures are anonymized, there is no point in assigning special file names.
Each participant can upload up to three photos once. If only one or two photos are uploaded, it will not be possible to upload them again. If you would still like to submit further photos (maximum of three in total), please send them to us by email to fotowettbewerb@fotokoch.hr.
If you have uploaded the wrong picture or have taken a better one in the meantime, send us the new one by e-mail to fotowettbewerb@fotokoch.hr and indicate which one should be removed from the ranking.
Yes, you will receive an email immediately after uploading. If you do not receive one, please check your spam folder. If it is not there either, please contact fotowettbewerb@fotokoch.hr.
If the files are too large or the internet connection is slow, there may be problems with the upload. This depends on various factors. Our recommendation is: Submit the images in a decent resolution for the jury (at least 2,500 pixels on the long side, even if less is required in the conditions of participation), but try to stay under 20 MB file size. In addition, the photos must be in JPG. If you still have problems, please send an email to fotowettbewerb@fotokoch.hr.
The jury consists of four to six photographers from the Foto Koch team, who all work in different genres in order to have as many different skills as possible in the selection process. This team selects the best 20-30 images, which can then be evaluated by up to 60 people in an internal vote. The winning images are then selected from this result.
After the end of the photo competition, a jury will select the best photos. This can take one to two weeks. The winners will then be notified by email. As soon as we receive feedback from everyone, the result will be published on our blog. All participants will then also be informed by email. This can take up to four weeks in total.
