Official contest rules.
All photo submissions are judged by a panel of experts who are looking for originality, creative composition and overall appeal. Here are some quick tips to catch the judges’ eyes:
- Lighting: Bright, natural light works best to create a crisp shot. If possible, set your dish next to a sunny window and turn off the flash setting before you snap the photo.
- Keep it clean: Wipe the edges of the plate and the space around the food — messy smudges and crumbs aren’t appealing.
- Props: For a more interesting shot, try placing a few notable ingredients around the dish or in the background — just as long as it isn’t too cluttered.
- Plating: Decorative serving dishes can add to the ambiance of the photo, as long as it doesn’t clash. Let the food be the star!
