Prizes
Two prizes are awardedfor each contest:
The PICZ Panel of Judges prize: a panel of judges composed of professional photographers (see here) evaluates the submissions and awards a “jury prize”. The evaluation criteria are : conformance to the theme, creativity, and technical quality of the picture.
The public prize: this is based on the image that has gathered the highest number of votes from our members. The voting process is fully managed online and the live result can be observed in real time
