What kinds of photos can be submitted?
Photos need to have been taken in Korea during 2014 . Those who publish photos must have the legal rights to publish the photo. We reserve the right reject photos if they are considered in violation of our posting policies. Each person can submit up to 20 photos and any or all of those can include photostories.
How can photos be submitted?
All photos must be in .jpg format and the maximum upload size is 10MB. (info about resaving your photos here and here). For exhibition and judging purposes all photos will be resized to an image no larger than 1600 pixels in width or height. To submit a photo, register at Koreabridge.net. Click 'Create/Photo'. Each photo needs a title, but description is optional. For 'photo stories' include the story part in the description field. Under tags, enter 'bestof2014' and/or 'photostory'. Include a comma between each tag. A moderator may need to approve photos submitted by new registrants before they appear online.
