Contest Rules

Light Painting Portrait Photography ContestGraffiti Light Project Light Painting Photography Contest
December 2014

Theme: Light Painting Portraits

Guidelines: You may submit up to 2 (two) Images. They must be of the light painting genre and must be minimally processed. The only post processing or altering allowed will be level adjustments, white balance or any adjustments that modify the image exposure but retaining as much of the integrity of the image as you can. If the post processing is limited enough to be acceptable as a documentary photograph rather than a digitally altered image that is what we are looking for. There will be no layered shots accepted for this contest. Single shot long-exposures and the use of your choice of light to paint in the subject in your portrait only. Whether it be flash, flashlight, fire or any other sort of light just make sure your photographs are one continuos long-exposure. No limit on exposure time. Can be shot digitally or film scans will also accepted as long as the digital scan fits the file format requirements. Please do not add any logos or watermarks, images watermarked will not be accepted. No Graphic Violence, pornographic nudity or obscenity.

The best Image will be featured on our upcoming Contest Winners Page and will also be featured on our Graffiti Light Project Newsfeed. We will also be exhibiting your work at our event and exhibition digital slideshow gallery for events in 2015.
