The competition officially kicks off Friday, October 30 at 8:30 AM and wraps up Saturday, October 31 at 3:30 PM. Points earned throughout both Friday and Saturday count toward your final total.
At the end of the day Friday, turn in your Mission Card at Registration or a Camera Club table to have your points verified and tallied. You’ll then receive your Saturday Mission Card with your Friday point total carried over at the top.
On Saturday, all completed Mission Cards must be turned in inside the Tradeshow by 3:30 PM for the final tally. Mission Cards turned in after the competition closes will not be counted.
All required social media posts must be public and tag PhotoCon when applicable. The participant with the highest point total at the end of the competition wins! In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by PhotoCon staff.
The winner will be announced and presented with the trophy at the beginning of Hank Schyma’s keynote presentation on Saturday, October 31 at 4:00 PM. The winner must be present at the keynote to receive the award and claim the prize.
Support great causes, connect with vendors and instructors, have fun, and compete for some serious PhotoCon bragging rights! 📸
