Source preference
The site prioritizes official event pages, organiser announcements, programme pages, and other first-party sources. Community reposts and forum references are lower priority unless they point clearly to a primary source.

Methodology
How listings are selected, normalized, and reviewed.
PhotoContest is designed to help users discover current photography opportunities faster while preserving links back to official organisers.
Normalization
Dates, event type, host name, and location fields are standardized so users can compare opportunities across regions and categories more efficiently.
Quality controls
- Listings can be marked for review when source data is partial or inconsistent.
- Some records are preserved as closed when a past event still has reference value.
- Records without explicit date evidence may be filtered out rather than published as active opportunities.
- Users are encouraged to verify deadlines and conditions on the official source before applying or traveling.
Editorial limitations
Event pages can change without notice, and some organisers block automated access or publish incomplete schedules. When that happens, PhotoContest may retain the official link while reducing confidence or requiring manual review.
Updates
The database is refreshed on an ongoing basis, but availability depends on source stability, verification rate limits, and changes on organiser websites. Users should always confirm the final details on the official event page.
