What to Upload
Submit up to 5 of your strongest, original mobile photography works. Each submission may include a single piece or a coherent set telling one story. We are excited about mobile-shot frames across street, travel, portrait, abstract, and lifestyle work — only original, owned, smartphone-native captures.
Submissions must be your own original work and ownership. Do not upload AI-generated, stock-licensed, or plagiarised content — entries containing these will be disqualified without refund. Submit at the highest available quality the platform allows.
Briefly describe the concept, process, or story behind each submission — context helps the jury and community connect with your craft.
