Your Name and Surname
Writing john is not really enough, your full name should be added to form, i.e. John Smith.
Your short bio
Please make sure your bio is between 30-50 words, when we ask for 30-50 words. A 300 words of bio with full explanation of your awards, although we are sure it means a lot to you, it will not make any difference to us. We will have to cut it down and that takes time.
Your portrait
We always ask for your portrait to be a head and shoulders one, or near enough, and your face to be visible. A picture with your face behind a camera or the back of your head in the photograph is not good enough.
Your website
We always ask for the full URL of your website. Many times we see URLs such as landscapephotographymagazine.com. Well this is wrong. The full URL should be copy/pasted from your website and should be either https://yourwebsite.com or https://www.yourwebsite.com.
Your Facebook Page
Again, we always ask for the full URL and yet, we are surprised to see some people adding @namesurname, which is wrong. We really ask for the full URL of your Facebook page and we really mean it.
