Nircle Photography Contests - Tips
When submitting photos to contests, be careful not to add watermarks. The last contests had great photos disqualified because of watermarks. To maintain the visual integrity of the image and for the overall viewing experience, watermarks will automatically disqualify your photos. If you have concerns about protecting your images, photos published in journals or winning articles are credited to you as the photographer, to bring visibility to your work. #Photography

Practicality is the cornerstone of any successful creative endeavor. In the verification stage, creators meticulo...
