Submit Photos with Precision: Categories for Your Photo Contest!

We are excited to introduce an exciting new feature: Submission Categories! From now on, you can make your photo contests even more structured with PollUnit by defining different categories for your submissions.
What are Submission Categories?
With submission categories, you can divide your photo contests into different themes or genres. Participants select an appropriate category when uploading their photos, ensuring that all images are sorted into the correct group. This makes it easier for juries and voters to evaluate photos and determine winners.
Individual Voting per Category
Each category gets its own voting! This way, you can determine a separate winner for each category. This is ideal for contests with diverse themes – for example, »Landscape Photography«, »Portraits«, or »Macro Photography«.
Advantages of Submission Categories
- Better Overview:
All submissions are thematically organized and easier to find. - Fairer Evaluation:
Comparable images compete directly against each other. - Fairer Competition:
Comparable participants, e.g., based on age or experience, compete against each other. - Multiple Winners:
Each category can have its own ranking list. - Flexibility:
You can define and adjust the categories yourself.
Combining Submission and Voting Categories
PollUnit also offers the possibility to create voting categories. These allow images within a submission category to be evaluated based on criteria such as shooting technique, composition, message, and subject. This means a photo contest could have winners in different voting categories within each submission category.
