Frequently Asked Questions

Questions that reached us more than once.

Is there a restriction for photo upload?

Yes. We want to ensure that all pictures are capable to use them also in print media. Therefore we have a technical restriction and a moderation of the pictures. All pictures have to be at least 900x900 pixels. There is no minimum file size, since we prefer the originals.

There is also a kind of moderation, where the best pictures are highlighted and shown preferential on the page. This is mainly to ensure the pictures quality and to forestall pure copies.

How can I submit a photo to a contest?

First you have to upload the photo. Afterwards you can see your photo and you can submit it to the contest using the right panel.

What are the pictures there fore?

Youthphotos is not only a page for discussions and contests. It is a platform for young journalists to exchange pictures. Every uploaded picture is governed by one of the Creative Commons licenses, especially for the free use in youth media.
