Photo Club Rules

These rules help keep the monthly photo showcase fair, organized, and enjoyable for everyone.

General Club Rules

LensLink Photo Club is meant to be a positive online space for sharing original photography. Every submitted photo should be taken by the person who sends it in. Members should not submit photos that belong to someone else, photos copied from the internet, or images that were posted by another photographer without permission. Each entry should fit one of the monthly categories and should be appropriate for a school or classroom project. Photos should avoid offensive content, unsafe behavior, or anything that could embarrass or target another person.

Accepted image formats are JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP. To keep the website loading quickly, every image should be under 1 MB before it is submitted. Members may lightly edit their photos for brightness, cropping, color, and sharpness, but the image should still look like a real photograph. Heavy edits that completely change the photo into a fake scene should not be entered. Each photographer may submit one photo per category during a challenge period, and voting should be honest, respectful, and based on the photo itself.

Accepted Files

JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WEBP images are accepted for this club.

File Size

Keep each image under 1 MB so the website stays fast and easy to use.

Original Work

Only submit photos that you took yourself or have full permission to use.

Respectful Voting

Vote based on creativity, quality, and how well the photo fits its category.
