Welcome to the CPOY Entry Application

Entry even easier this year!

Tweaks improve last year’s new photographer friendly entry system! After rewriting the entire entry process from scratch last year, CPOY’s web producers have now fine-tuned the system to smooth out a few rough spots. The great news is that those file-naming schemes of the past are now truly history.

Again this year, you can individually upload your entries into their respective categories, add, remove or reorder images and make on-the-fly changes to captions and required "file info" fields.

Please take a few minutes to read through the instructional pages linked below (and in the menu bar above). There are some new awards this year and a change in the number of entries allowed in individual categories. The category definitions and eligibility rules are much the same as in previous years, but please pay careful attention to the instructions page, which describes how to prepare and upload your files to our servers.
