Stage 1 – Online voting on Facebook page Plovdiv Photo Portrait – Joke. Mark with Like the photographs, that are your favorites from 08 to 15.11. through first week of december.
Stage 2 – The photographs gathered the most likes will be evaluated with a scoring system of three-member jury: Chairman – Gencho Petkov, AFIAP and members – the photographers Grisha Grigorov and Stoyan Iliev. Because of the subjective and manipulated rating that can accumulate in the online voting type “Like”, the jury reserves the right to nominate their favorites, from which can also be selected some winners. Estimates and the jury’s decision can not be appealed. The jury and the organizers have no right to participate. Winners will be published at the end of the year.
The mere sending of the photographs, is accepted for a declaration of authorship on the name of the sender. The author agrees that the photos with that participates can only be used for advertising and promotion of IPS Plovdiv, also in the case of printing and exposing them in an accompanying exhibition.
Postscript: In order to direct you in the mood of the idea of this competition we have selected three photographs that inspired us. Their author is Grisha Grigorov. To all foreign participants who have not visited any of our sixteen exhibitions, we can only hint that we would accept any photo creativity and originality, associated with International Photo Salon Plovdiv.
