Photo contest "ORANGE"
The color orange has much more to offer than just a description of the citrus fruit of the same name: it radiates warmth, energy and creativity and can inspire us in many ways.
So: pick up your cameras and capture the magic of this color in a photo. Whether it's breathtaking rock constructions, brilliant lights, sunsets, fashion looks, friendly robins, delicious carrot dishes or just a small but striking splash of orange color - there are no limits to your creativity! The color offers countless motifs.
We are already excited for your submissions and look forward to discovering the diversity of the color orange.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the usual corrections are possible, but also montages. Just make sure that you do not include anything that was not taken by you. The use of an AI is not allowed.
Unfortunately this is not possible. The pictures will be anonymized so that the jury can neutrally evaluate which photos are the best. Regardless of who took them or what the story is. Since the pictures are anonymized, there is also no point in assigning special file names.
Each participant can upload up to three photos once. If only one or two pictures are uploaded, it will not be possible to upload them again. If you still want to submit more pictures (maximum three in total), please send them to us by e-mail to fotowettbewerb@fotokoch.cz.
If you have uploaded a wrong picture or have taken a better one in the meantime, send us the new one by mail to fotowettbewerb@fotokoch.cz and indicate which one should be removed from the ranking.

If your files are too large or your internet connection is slow, you may have problems uploading. This depends on different factors. Our recommendation is: Submit the pictures in a decent resolution for the jury (at least 2,500 pixels on the long side, even if the terms of participation ask for less), but try to stay under 20 MB file size. Also, the photos must be in JPG. If you have any problems, please send an email to fotowettbewerb@fotokoch.cz.
After the end of the photo contest a jury will choose the best photos. This can take one to two weeks. Afterwards the winners will be notified by e-mail. As soon as we have a response from everyone, the result will be published on our blog. All participants will then also be informed by e-mail. In total, this can take up to four weeks.
