Photography Competition Submission Thread

This is the official Photography Competition submission thread. If you would like to know more about this competition, head here for more information. Submissions can be submitted until Monday, 24th February at 3:30pm AEST.

General Information:

This competition is being held to help Brick News Pty Ltd gather photos to use as decoration on the official Brick News website. Entrants should be aware any photos they submit may be used by Brick News for decoration purposes. Images on the website will not be sold to third parties.

We encourage entrants to include their social media handles so that we can credit them. Photo submissions with the photographer's watermark are welcome - if doing this please include the watermark on the right-hand side of the image, preferably middle right or bottom right.

This competition is free-to-enter and no subscription plan is required. Purchasing a subscription will not favour you during the judging process.

Rules:

1. All photos submitted as entries must be submitted by the original photographer. If plagiarism or theft of images is detected, the user involved will be disqualified and may have their Brick News account terminated.

2. By submitting photos to this competition, you agree that they can be used on the Brick News website for decoration purposes regardless of whether you win a prize.

3. Photos submitted in this competition can be new photos OR old photos taken in the past. Third party lighting kits are allowed.

4. Editing of photos is allowed (for example, Lightsaber FX or other adjustments) however the more natural the photo looks, the more favourably it will be looked at.

5. Stick to one theme - you can pick from any existing LEGO theme, including popular ones such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, Ninjago, DC, Marvel and others.

6. A minimum of one photo and maximum of 10 photos applies per entry.

7. Only one entry is permitted per person.

8. The competition is hosted in Australia. Prizes will be shipped to prize winners in jurisdictions outside of Australia, as long as free-to-enter competitions are permitted in that jurisdiction.

9. Entries that include illegal content will be deleted and result in the termination of your Brick News account.

Tips:

• Submit photos taken in landscape format - portrait photos do not work well on the Brick News website and this will affect judging criteria.

• Make your images bright and/or colourful - dark images will clash with the Brick News black background.

• Include cool Easter eggs in your photos for a better chance of winning. Humour, action and mystery will also help you.

Prizes:

1st Place: LEGO 75389 Star Wars: The Dark Falcon

3 Runner Ups: One LEGO set each, depending on the theme of the submissions. Minimum set value $50 AUD, maximum set value $100 AUD. If there are no sets that fit this criteria in the theme, the runner-up can nominate a different theme for the prize.

Good luck to all of our entrants! We look forward to seeing your submissions.
