Questions
Who can enter?
Individual contributors with a personal NIPNews account that can publish photographs. Organization accounts can’t enter, and NIPNews staff, contractors and members of their households can’t enter. The usual NIPNews account rules apply. Where you live doesn’t matter: the photo must be taken in Fairfield County.
Where must the photo be taken?
In Fairfield County, Connecticut: the county or one of its 23 towns, or a village or neighborhood NIPNews places in one of those towns (for example Cos Cob in Greenwich). The photo’s place on NIPNews decides it.
How do I enter?
Select ENTER CONTEST, choose one of your published photos, read the Official Rules, tick both boxes and select Submit Entry. A new photo must be uploaded and published first.
How many photos can I enter?
One. Once you’ve entered, you can’t enter another photo, even if your entry is later disqualified.
Can I change or remove my entry?
No. Your entry is final as soon as you submit it. You can’t edit the photo or any of its details, and you can’t withdraw, replace or delete it.
Can I enter an Anonymous photo?
No. Only photos published with your public photo credit can be entered.
Do my caption and description matter?
Yes. The Editor-in-Chief considers how clearly and accurately they explain what the photo shows, where and when it was taken, and why it matters.
When does the contest close?
The closing date will be announced on this page. Your photo must be published and entered before it.
How is the winner chosen?
The Editor-in-Chief chooses one winner after the contest closes. There is no public voting and no entry fee. The winner is announced on this page.
What does the winner receive?
Public recognition on NIPNews only. There is no cash or physical prize, certificate or badge, and no other promised benefit.
Who owns my photo?
You do. Entering doesn’t change ownership. See the Official Rules for the permissions that apply.
What if the rules change?
You’ll be asked to review and accept the revised Official Rules. Your entry stays as it is while you do.
What if I delete my account?
You can. Your entry then becomes ineligible and is no longer shown, and it still counts as your one entry.
The Official Rules govern the contest.
