Guidelines for Participation
The Online Photo Club is meant to be a friendly place where people can share their photos and take part in different challenges throughout the semester. To keep things fair and organized, everyone needs to follow a few basic rules when submitting their work. All photos must be taken by the person submitting them, and they shouldn’t include copyrighted images, watermarks, or anything created by AI. We only accept common file types like .jpg, .jpeg, and .png, and each file should stay under 5MB so the pages load quickly for everyone. Photos also need to be appropriate for all audiences and should be uploaded in the correct orientation. Anything that is offensive or harmful will be removed. These rules help keep the club enjoyable and make sure everyone has a positive experience while sharing their creativity.
To help keep our monthly contests running smoothly, each photo has to be submitted to the right category and follow the theme listed on the Categories page. Students can only submit one photo per category for each contest, and late entries won’t be accepted. When it comes to voting or leaving comments, everyone is expected to be respectful and avoid any kind of rude behavior or spam. Trying to cheat the voting system can lead to being removed from the club. By submitting a photo, members agree that their image might be shown in the Winners Gallery if it gets selected. The goal of these rules isn’t to limit anyone, but to make sure the club stays organized and supportive. We want people to feel comfortable trying new ideas, learning from others, and improving their photography skills over time.
