How do I find out what result I got for the Monthly Image Competition?

Results are announced usually after judging has taken place via our Blog, websites and social media also via emailed newsletter.

I am struggling to upload a file for the monthly competition. The site states “no file uploaded”, I don’t normally have any problems uploading files, any suggestions?

Please make sure your files are under 2MB and under 2000 pixels on the longest side.

I’ve just been looking at the entries into this month’s competition and have noticed that one particular member is submitting multiple entries into each category – and yet in the guidelines you state there should only be one per category. Seems unfair that this member is being allowed to submit more.

Multiple entries will either be deleted or just not judged
