How do I enter the competition?
First, you’ll be prompted to join RUCHI Beautigram for a free account to upload your files. Then follow the simple instructions to upload your photos, videos, and blogs. Please provide all the proper information for each submission.
What are the specifications for uploading?
• For photos, upload the highest-quality JPEGs, sized a minimum of 1200 pixels on the longest side. Maximum size is 5MB.
• In case of video, the size shouldn’t exceed 300MB.
• In blog category, your writing must be within 1000 words. The file format must be doc or text.
How do you decide winners?
After initial submission, screening, and Masterclass, the shortlisted contestants will submit their work again based on the tasks given by the judges. The final submissions will be uploaded on website for voting. The judges will also evaluate their works. Both audience votes and judges' evaluations will determine the winners.
I am not a professional photographer, videographer, or writer—can I still apply?
RUCHI Beautigram is a contest mainly for travel enthusiasts. It’s all about telling travel stories through your lens & pen. So, capture, shoot, write and send.
Can I replace or re-arrange my works after I’ve submitted them?
Yes! You can now edit your entire submission up to the deadline. This means you can replace or remove, rearrange, edit the titles, descriptions, and your submission statement.
I would like to submit works on both themes, can I?
Yes, you can. But wrong theme selection will make you disqualified. You can be declared winner for only one theme and one category.
How many times can I enter?
You can enter your account as many times as you want after registration. You can enter to submit, to vote and visit exhibition.
Are there restrictions if I’ve submitted my photo/video/blog to a different competition?
No, there are no restrictions. But you can’t submit your photo/video/blog submitted in the previous seasons of RUCHI Beautigram.
Are there other ethical guidelines which should be followed?
The entries must be your works. You can’t submit any other’s work. If it’s found that any participant has submitted someone else’s work, the submission will be invalidated and RUCHI can take legal steps.
Do I have to pay for entry?
No. Competition entry is entirely free.
Can I have an extension on the deadline?
At this time, we are not offering any extensions. The deadline is FINAL.
If my entry is accepted and you are hosting an exhibition, what will you use for reproduction?
If your work is accepted, we will request the necessary reproduction materials at the time of organizing the exhibition. We will certainly need the high-resolution original image of your submitted photograph.
How do you communicate with participants?
