I’m proud to announce that we are now taking submissions for our Concert Photo of the Year.
Below are the rules for this competition/award which we will not deviate. We have managed to get 4 people to Judge the final 50 pictures when the competition closes to entries.

The Photos will be looked at and reduced down to a final 50 by The Editor of weshootmusic, Philip Goddard for the judges to look at. Each Photo will be given it’s own number with no reference to Photographer who took it, meaning that the Judging is 100% impartial.
The Final 50 images will be marked out of 10 for three categories……. Presentation, Impact and Composition
Presentation = Editing and Technical things such as Focusing and Noise etc
Impact = Atmosphere and Artistic Effect
Composition = Angles, Cropping and Photo Clutter ( eg Mic covering mouth )
The Judges
Saffron – Vocals for Republica
Kevin Nixon – Rock Photographer
Becky Baldwin – Bass for Fury and Mercyful Fate

Please note that everyone involved in this is doing this voluntarily. Please make the process as simple and stress free as possible for us by reading the rules.
Good Luck!! If you want any private constructive criticism, please ask in submission email….
