Add a photography competition to the index.
Spotted a competition we don't have? Drop the URL or a poster photo — AI fetches the page, extracts the rules, and auto-publishes within a minute when the data is clean. Suspicious links, illegible posters, or pay-to-play "awards" with opaque jurors get flagged for human review. Every competition you add helps the next photographer.
What happens next
-
01
Curator review — within 7 days. We check whether it's a real competition with published rules, transparent jury, and fair fees. Pay-to-play "awards" without juror credentials are politely declined.
-
02
Manifest drafted — categories, fees, deadlines, AI policy, eligibility, rights. Each field is verified against the competition's own website before it's published.
-
03
Published with provenance — the entry's
parsed_byfield readsuser_submission, and theconfidencefield starts atprovisional. Anyone reading the index sees how it got there. -
04
You're notified — if you gave an email. One message when the entry goes live. Then we delete the email unless you opted into the Studio + Atelier waitlist.
What we keep, what we don't
- URL submissions: the URL, your notes, your email (if given) — stored in a private file on our server. Deletable on request.
- Poster submissions: the image is held on disk only until a curator processes it (typically within 7 days, always within 14). After that, the image is deleted; only the metadata of "this submission existed" is retained.
- Email: used solely for the one-time launch notification. Never shared, never marketed, deletable on request.
- No auto-publishing. Every submission is reviewed by a human before it appears in the index. No AI auto-publishing, no spam pipeline.
