Common Questions

Questions users ask before they trust a listing.

This page keeps the main trust and scope questions in one place so users do not have to infer how the site works from the cards alone.

How are photography opportunities selected?

The site prioritizes official event pages, festival announcements, organization notices, and source hints that can be reviewed when direct extraction is blocked.

What kinds of photography events are listed?

Listings include photography open calls, festivals, photobook fairs, portfolio reviews, and related fair-format events across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania.

Why do some items show review-needed data?

Some source pages limit bot access or publish partial schedules. In those cases the site preserves the official link and marks the record for review instead of hiding the opportunity.

Why are some events not indexed as separate pages?

Because not every record is strong enough to deserve its own search landing page. When an item has thin factual detail or weak editorial value, PhotoContest may keep it inside the live index without pushing it into the sitemap or standalone static-page layer.

How much should I trust the summary?

Use the summary as a navigation aid, not as the final instruction. Before applying, paying, booking travel, or sharing the listing with others, confirm the official source page directly.

What should I check before applying or paying?

Verify the deadline, fee, eligibility, participation mode, and any review-needed notes on the official organiser page. The listing is meant to guide navigation, not replace the source instructions.

Where should I send corrections or missing sources?

Use the Contact page when a poster, date, fee, organiser name, or official source page needs correction or when an event source is missing.

Does AdSense or Search Console guarantee rankings?

No. Search Console helps indexing and diagnostics, and AdSense approval only means the site met Google’s publisher review at that moment. Neither tool guarantees search position. The site still has to be useful, original, and technically clean over time.
