What juries look for in film and analog photography
- Mastery of the chosen process.
- A reason to use film that shows in the result.
- Careful scanning and printing.
How to prepare your entry
Scan at high resolution and keep the negatives organised. Finalists may be asked to send them or high resolution scans of the full frame.
Before you pay a fee
Some analog contests allow digital retouching of scans, others do not. Check the rule before you clean dust digitally.
Every listing on Photographers First shows the deadline in your time zone, the fee in your currency, the prize as stated by the organizer, and a direct link to the official rules. Pro members also get advanced filters by fee, prize and country, unlimited saved contests, and an entry tracker for deadlines and spending. See what Pro adds.
