Uploading Contest Images (Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk)

Photo Walk contest submissions will open on Sunday, July 25 and close July 31.
Here’s a short two-step walkthrough for submitting your best image to the Photo Walk contest.
Step 1) Go to WorldwidePhotoWalk.com and log in (look at the top right corner of the page)

Once you’re logged in, you’ll automatically go to your Photo Walk page.
Step 2) Once there, you’ll see a section called “Upload Your Photo” below the Meeting Location & Time (not today or tomorrow, but it’ll show up on Sunday):

Just follow the on-screen instructions and you’ll be good to go!
Each walker is allowed to submit one image to the contest.  The deadline to submit is July 31.  If you change your mind on which image you want to enter, you can change it up until the deadline.
After that, walk leaders will have till August 7 to choose the winning image from their walk.  They won’t be able to make a selection until after the submission process is finished.
All of those winning images will then be posted in the People’s Choice gallery where everyone can vote for their favorite shot during the following week.
Then, on August 14, we’ll announce the Grand Prize, Honorable Mentions, and People’s Choice winners.
So where does Flickr play into all of this?  Since this is a social event, we want you all to be able to share your images with the world! The contest we do here doesn’t really lend itself to that, so we’re suggesting that you share your shots on Flickr.
We’ve set up an official Worldwide Photo Walk Flickr group where anyone who takes part in the Photo Walk can share up to five images per day.  Your leader may have set up a Flickr group just for your location too.
Are you required to submit an image to the contest, or to share photos on Flickr? Absolutely not. If you just want to have fun taking pictures with fellow photographers and making new friends, then we’re all for that!
Hope that answers the questions a number of you had about this.  Happy Shooting! :)

How To Leave A Walk



If you can’t make it to the Photo Walk you’ve signed up for, it’s very quick and easy to un-signup.
Step 1) Go to WorldwidePhotoWalk.com and log in
Once you’re logged in, you’ll see your Photo Walk page.

Step 2) Just above the map, you’ll see a button that says “Leave This Walk.” Just click that, and it will un-register you for that walk. If there’s a waiting list, the next person on it will automatically be moved up to the main list.
If you see the Join This Walk button instead, you’re either not logged in or are on the wrong Photo Walk page.
Your leader can not remove you from the walk.  It’s something you have to do yourself.  If you’re unable to participate, please take a minute (literally) to unregister yourself so someone else can have the chance to participate.
If you wish to change walks, you’ll need to leave the walk you’re currently registered for, then you can join a different one.nbb

Only 3 Days Away! Scott Kelby's 3rd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk

If you can’t make it – Make sure you sign in to the Photo Walk site then go to your walk page. You can remove yourself from a walk by clicking the button just above the map:

We’re only three days away from the big day!  There are over 1,100 photo walks taking place and over 28,000 people participating! Couple of things to address real quick…
Please do this so that the next person on the waiting list can take part in the walk.
Submitting contest images - All images for the contest will be submitted on this website, not through Flickr or any other website.  Each walker will be able to submit one image, their best from the day.  We’ll have a more detailed walkthrough of this later in the week.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t upload images to Flickr though.  You can share your photos with the official Worldwide Photo Walk group, and with people from your own group if your leader has set one up. You will need a Flickr account to share images here, so if you don’t already have one you can sign up for free here. Just remember… Sharing images on Flickr is for fun and being social, not for the contest.
That should help a lot of you out who’ve been asking about these things.  Happy photo walking!
