I just saw this :c
I will probably do another contest soon :)
Hi! I submitted a photo for the contest in the 4:3 format. However, it looks like IG makes the photo smaller. Does it appear correctly on your end? I tagged you as well.
Instagram crops all photos to 1:1 but once I pick my favorite 10 I will ask those 10 for the original full res images.
So does it need to be posted by EOD today (the 29th)...or by EOD tomorrow (Nov 30th)?
I will put out a countdown tomorrow giving like a 6 hour warning
Submitted mine on IG. You should be tagged 🤘🏽
Thanks for submitting! Looks awesome!
im super new to this, and this is going to be a stupid question, what size is 4:3? ok you can all laugh at me now. :)
No problem. 4:3 just means for every 4 units of width there is 3 units of height. So your image could be 4000 pixels wide and 3000 tall or 8 inches wide and 6 inches tall. Hope that helps.
When do we have to have our picture submitted by?
November 30th
Can we use photo editing software as long as it's not AI?
Yep photo editing is fine
Since you potentially want to use the winning photo to represent the model, I'm guessing you'll want the standard colors?
Nope you can use whatever colors you like, obviously you would want the color combo you use to look decent but this contest is really open ended!
Better photo or more creative?
The criteria for your photo aren't super strict so you can have a really high quality professional photo or a very creative photo done with just your phone camera. Its really up to you and what you feel your best at!
If you guys have any questions or concerns please tell me because this is my first contest on Patreon.
