Welcome to US50!

IT'S ABOUT US:

US50 is a collection of quality fine art and documentary photography within the United States of America. We invite you to submit photographs that reveal unique portrayals illustrating the diversity and commonalities about the 50 states, whether it's where you live, where you're from, or where you travel.

SUBMISSIONS

You do not have to be a resident or citizen of the United States to be a member, that's just silly. Members are allowed 3 deviations per week, contributors 5 deviations per week, and members of affiliates 2 per week (this is subject to change).

All deviations submitted by members will be voted on by the administration before inclusion in one of our galleries. We have 51 folders for each state and Washington DC. We may add more U.S. Territories pending on member and watcher demand.

THE VOTING PROCESS

Our group's administration is composed of serious amateurs to working creative professionals with a critical eye for the visual arts and documentary photography. Similar to an art gallery or magazine, we reserve the right to be selective in what we present for our watchers. We're busy people, therefore declined submissions will not receive critique. However, if you seek to understand why your submission may have been declined, feel free to respond with your submission or in a private note and we will respond when we can.

Reasons you may be accepted or declined are a combined matter of technique and personal taste. We respect that you may disagree with our decision. Here are some things to take into consideration:


  1. Proper composition, technique, and exposure will be expected at a minimum.


  2. We are looking for photographs that explore the United States and reveal what's unique within the boundaries of each state. Pictures that could have been taken anywhere will likely not be included in our galleries.


  3. All environmental and street photography with people as subject matter will be considered, but be very selective when submitting model photography. The same thing goes with macro photography. If your image reveals something distinctive about the location it's taken in, the image will be considered. Simply because a picture was taken within a state isn't enough and most studio photography will be rejected.


  4. Obvious rule violations and wrong categories will be rejected.


  5. HDR and other alternative creative processing techniques (film or digital) will be given equal consideration to traditional work. However, ensure that you are adding to the impact and meaning of your photograph - not subtracting from it or simply covering up that it was a bad capture.


  6. Photomanipulations will be rejected (i.e. adding foreign elements and/or removing critical parts of a photograph)


  7. Photos with large intrusive watermarks will be rejected. That includes that awful DA watermark.


Finally, we're looking forward to seeing what you submit! Have fun!
Welcome aboard to our 3rd affiliate, #FloridaPhotographers!  Remember, members of any affiliate can enter 2 photos per week to #US50!

Gotta say, seeing all these professional-quality photos this group hosts has scared me right out of ever even trying to join or submit something.

But that won't stop me from watching you guys. These are incredible pics. Good job.

Clearly you have not taken the time to read details about the club or the photography that is accepted within it as detailed "in the voting process". If you would like specific reasons why your photos were not accepted (the most prominent being that huge DA watermark), feel free to note me at anytime. Otherwise, you are more than welcome to leave flippant comments. Thank you for your time and consideration.
