1 Read info 

Do check our Terms and Conditions

Do read our guidance page (includes release forms) to help you understand about possible restrictions when photographing for the Project 365. It simply is common sense and it’s about being respectful of others, that’s all.

2 Register your interest

Register your interest by filling in our online form HERE. This will automatically add you to our database so you will be receiving news and updates about the project.

3 Check the participants’ calendar and book some time if you wish

Although it is not compulsory to make any commitment, we’d like you to book at least one week during the year. By committing yourself to take photographs during several days, you will help with the organisation of the project: it will guarantee that each day of that week is photographed,  reducing the risk of not having any photo at all. That’s the challenge!
Simply check the online calendar HERE, and pick a week labeled as “FREE”. 
Once you have decided which week you would like to cover, let us know  via email: Project365[at]kentcreativearts[dot]co[dot]uk. Note that if you wish to book several weeks, you will need to book them at the same time, in the same form.

Note: this doesn’t have any impact on the way yourself or other photographers get involved; or on the way you wish to photograph other days. Anyone can send pictures at any time during the year.

4 Check the file format

Your photographs must be in the form of digital files, in the following format: 

  • Format: jpg only
  • Minimum photo size: 1920 x 1080 pixels
  • Resolution: 72 dpi is only just ok… but 300 dpi is much preferred for printing quality.
  • Max size: 5MB. If you really really wish to send larger files, please contact us.
  • Images must not be embed with any watermark, borders, logo, website address, etc…

Important note: files that do not follow these requirements will not be accepted. 

5 Rename your files

The actual files that you send to us must be re-named in the following format,  indicating the day it was taken – the name of the photographer – number (if you send 2 pictures):

Year-Month-Day-FirstName-LastName.jpg
Example: 2017-07-25-Joe-Bloggs-1.jpg & 2017-07-25-Joe-Bloggs-2.jpg 

We will not accept the following:
IMG_3426.jpg
2017-7-3.jpg
2017_07_25_Joe_Bloggs_1.jpg  
20170725_JoeBloggs_1.jpg  

If you can’t rename your file (for instance if you send it straight from a mobile phone without going through a computer) please write the file name in the body of the email so we can cut and paste it.

Important note: files that do not follow these requirements will not be accepted. 

6 Send us your photos

You can send your pictures at any time. It is not required that you send then the day you took them.

Use our online form HERE.

OR

Email your photographs to Project365[at]kentcreativearts[dot]co[dot]uk as an attachment, not as an embedded photo in the body of the email (click on the Attach File button).
Please send one photo per email with a Title. If you wish to add more details, add a description (no more than 100 characters) in the body of the email
