PhotoContest
Corrections Policy
Photography opportunities change quickly. This page explains what to send when a listing is wrong, outdated, incomplete, duplicated, or missing a better official source.
Correction requests can cover deadlines, opening dates, closing dates, fees, eligibility, organiser names, location, participation mode, official source URLs, category labels, and duplicate records. The most useful request includes the listing title, the incorrect field, and the official page that proves the change.
First-party organiser pages, official entry systems, PDF regulations, museum pages, festival pages, and official press releases are preferred. Screenshots can help, but a stable URL is usually needed before the public record is changed.
If a current listing has closed, PhotoContest may update the date, mark the opportunity as closed, remove it from higher-visibility areas, or keep it as a reference page when it still helps photographers prepare for a future cycle.
Some official websites block automated access or change markup often. In those cases, the listing may remain review-needed until a stable source can be checked manually. A blocked source is not treated as proof that an event is invalid.
PhotoContest can remove or reduce visibility for records that are clearly inaccurate, duplicated, misleading, no longer public, or not aligned with the site scope. Organisers can request a source correction or removal by emailing the publisher contact with the event name and official explanation.
Email [email protected] with the event title, the field to correct, the replacement text, and the official source link. For broader site issues, include the affected page URL and a short description of what is wrong.
