6. When will my participation in “Portraits for Pixels” be confirmed?
You will receive a confirmation email from us within 72 hours (3 days) of submitting your application.
7. Why do I need to submit my professional bio, my self-portrait/mugshot and a small portfolio of my work?
We require these supporting materials for the online gallery page that we will set up for you.
The gallery will help us raise your profile to our supporters and followers by giving us a unique page URL to post on Facebook and to tweet on Twitter.
8. Why am I limited to 200 words for my professional bio?
We need to standardise the length of the bio to be fair to every participating photographer.
Also, online readers have very limited attention spans so short and snappy copy always works better!
9. Do I have to submit a YouTube video?
It is optional and you can choose not to do so if you do not have the time or the equipment to record your YouTube video.
However, we would love it if you did because it will:
- Give an additional personal touch to your gallery profile.
- Add your voice to a growing global chorus of men and women saying NO to violence against women.
- Help inspire more people to step up to end violence against women.
