Reminders

Our judged monthly photo challenge is announced on the first Monday of the month. It is open for your photo entry from the first Tuesday until the first Saturday (closes in the evening EST).

If your photo has been entered on our site before, you cannot enter that photo again.

You can only enter ONE photo into the judged monthly challenge. If you have any other photos (or a collage of photos) in your entry, you will not be eligible to win any prizes. We accept only one entry per person. Photo entries must always include a human face unless we specifically state otherwise.

Please be sure to enter the permalink to your blog post…not the link to the home page of your blog. (Learn how to find a permalink here.)

Upcoming Photo Challenge Schedule

June – Judged Photo Challenge

Beginning Tuesday, June 4th, we will be hosting our monthly judged photo challenge here on our blog with a theme of “In The Distance”. For this challenge we are looking for images that incorporate the human subject into the background (distance) somehow. We did a similar challenge in the past if you’d like to gain inspiration from those winning image: From a Distance Winning Photos

There must be a human in your photo entry but a face does not have to be clearly showing.

Submit your “distance” themed photo anytime between June 4th-8th.

Photo Challenge Winners will be announced on Wednesday, June 12th.
“Angie & Amy Favorites” and the Grand Prize Giveaway Winner will be announced on Thursday, June 13th.

Please note: Winner Announcements are always dependent upon when we get that information back from the Guest Judge.

June – {1 Photo – 30 Days} Challenge

In addition to our big June Judged Photo Challenge, we will be hosting a more simple {1 Photo} Challenge this month as well. We think this challenge will be super fun and also help everyone in our community get to know each other better!

There really are no guidelines at all for this challenge (yay!) But here are some tips to help you get started:

1| Submit one photo or many photos that follow the theme or inspiring word for that day (graphic will be posted here on IHF soon.)

2| Add your photo on Instagram, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Facebook or the I Heart Faces Photography Community.

3| Use the hashtag #iHeartFaces so that everyone on Instagram, Twitter, Google+, our Community and Pinterest can find your images.

4| On Facebook you can either tag I Heart Faces or upload your image directly to our page (we have found that the tagging option does not work for everyone on FB.)

5| Join in one day, 10 days, 23 days or all of the days! There is no stress at all…just participate when you are able.

6| “Like” or comment on other images as you can. It’s always fun to encourage another photographer in our community. :)

7| Please feel free to share our {1 Photo – 30 Days} Photo Challenge graphic anywhere you’d like. We’d love for all photographers to be able to join in the fun!

8| Photos can be taken with your nice camera, a point-and-shoot or your phone…it’s all good! The quality of the image doesn’t matter a bit. We just want to get to know YOU and have FUN!

9| This is a family friendly photo challenge. I Heart Faces is not responsible for crude or rude photos/tweets associated with our hashtag.
