MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST Season 11

Theme: Unexpected Beauty

Mechanics:

1. This contest is open to any member of Shounen Gakuen (one entry is allowed per member.)

2. The photo you submit must have a title and a description/caption. The caption should include the location and time the photo was taken, a brief description of the subject matter, and its connection to the theme. It should be at least 2-3 sentences long.

3. The entries should strictly follow the theme or at least need to be related.

4. Entries must be taken with a mobile device (phone or tablet) and saved in JPEG/JPG or PNG format with full color. They can be in landscape or portrait orientation.

5. THE PHOTOGRAPHER SHOULD TAKE THE PHOTOS WITHIN THE SAME WEEK AS THE CONTEST. A watermark with the date and time is required for the entry to be considered valid. You can use camera apps like Gcam or SnapChat if your default camera phone doesn't have this feature.

6. It should not include offensive details or violate any person's rights, including but not limited to copyright and privacy.

7. It should not be heavily edited or manipulated. Minor adjustments like color correcting are allowed.

8. Any instances of plagiarism caught will disqualify the member from the contest.
