Important Changes on Critiques

  • Beginning with the July Competition, there will no longer be automatic critiques.
  • If you prefer a more in-depth critique, you may order a paid critique through www.printcompetition.com up to three days after the competition. Paid critiques will be done by one of the judges who judged the competition.
  • Paid critiques are $10/image in addition to your entry fee.
  • The completed critiques will be delivered to the makers via Dropbox approximately 2-3 weeks after the competition.
