Baby, It's Not Cold Outside

Baby, It's Not Cold Outside is a summertime photography competition hosted by Stein Ward Studio. This is a 100% online competition with the exhibition displayed on the organization's website. The competition is open-themed with two classes: Color and Black and White (including grayscale, monochrome, and sepia). Subject matter must be family friendly with no nudity or vulgarity permitted.

Entry fee is $35 for up to 4 entries. Artists may submit a maximum of 4 works total, either all in a single class or distributed across both classes. All entries must be original work by the artist with no signatures, borders, digital frames, mats, names, logos, or watermarks. AI-generated work is not accepted. Minor editing such as cropping, saturation adjustments, dodging, burning, and color corrections are permitted. All images must be in JPG format, minimum 1200 pixels on the longest side, up to 5MB file size, and must have a title.

Cash awards include a $100 Best of Show prize for each category, with several additional works selected for Honorable Mentions. Entries are juried August 21-22, 2024, with notifications emailed on or before August 22, 2024. Gallery selections will display the week of August 22, 2024. Prize money will be sent via PayPal to the email address on file. Works that have previously been submitted to past Stein Ward Studio competitions are eligible to enter.
