Introduce yourself. Tell us a bit about your life. Whereabouts are you from? Where and what do you most like to photograph? What got you into photography? What are your aspirations? Inquiring minds want to know...
Showcase your individual photo that you believe is your best or that you feel is most representative of your inner self. It's fun to share with friends and see how far each photo gets in the contest.
Share your photos that make it to these milestones. In case you don't know, "Jackpots" are photos that make it to the very final, final round before winner selection. When you see pics that inspire you, remember to visit and congratulate the photographer; getting to the top (with so many photos entered) is quite a feat.
