Photography Equipment Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Photography Equipment Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your photography equipment design is judged together with its dynamic range, image quality as well as its form factor and packaging. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the equipment, showing the product from multiple angles, together with a textual presentation of their work. The main image is especially important and should either be a highly professional photograph or alternatively an ultra-realistic render of the product isolated on white background. In addition to images, product brochure, user manuals, instructions and maintenance guides could further be uploaded as support documents.
