WPC Information on how are judged and presentation photos
Unlike any other professional photographic competition, the WPC is an Olympics-styled event with national teams competing against other national teams in a spirit of friendship and unity.
Each team is made up of three images in each of the six categories: Commercial, Illustrative / Digital Art, Nature (Landscape, wild life…), Portrait, Reportage and Wedding
A photographer may have more than one image in the competition, but not more than one in any given category.
Individual team members compete for Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals, while their teams are competing for the Cup!
The judging is conducted by judges from all over the world.
Actually, each entering team entitled one judge, and the judges are especially trained for the World Photographic Cup. It is a blind judging, which means judges never met with each other, and at no time were they given the name or country of the image they were judging. Each image in the competition is scored by the judges in four areas: impact, creativity, technical excellence and composition
In addition to the individual medals, points are given out to each country: 10 for first place, 9 for second place, 8 for third place, 7 points for 4th place and so on. So everyone in the top-10 contributes points to their team total.
Which means every top-10 finish is crucial for winning the World Photographic Cup !
You have the possibility to look the integrality of the photos in competition on the website of the WPC.
