Child Photo Competition is an online community devoted to the celebration of fine art child photography. For almost five years our goal was discovering, exposing and awarding the best child photographers from all over the world. While we were doing this, our primary goal was to discover the best of the best in the genre of child photography. As always, we were carefully choosing the judging panel whose task was to be objective, fair and sometimes harsh. The reason why we care about these principles is that we believe in quality and art. We want to make sure that photographers who enter our contest receive a fair assessment where they are comparing to other photographers from all around the world. As always, we were seeking for amazing emotions, powerful story, technical brilliance, something unique, thoughtfulness, great composition. To be more precise, the judging panel on our contest was judging and scoring: -
technical quality, composition, artistic expression overall impression.
