This month · First Light
One photo. Seen properly.
Enter the best photo on your phone. It gets a number that's yours for good, it's judged head-to-head by real people, and you only compete with photographers at your level — and near you.
No entry fees, ever. Phone photos only.

First Light
The first hour of light — or the first light you notice. A window, a street, a face, a kitchen. Show us how light arrives.
Winner in each division: their photo on a city billboard for a week, and a framed 16×20 print.
The sheet is empty — the first photo in gets the first frame. Enter yours.
Every photo gets a number
Photos are numbered from № 1 toward a million, for good. The first thousand are Founders.
Judged head to head
Voters see two photos and pick the better one. No follower counts, no likes — a photo can't win on who took it.
Your level, your state
Rising, Seasoned and Master divisions each have their own winners, and every state has a leaderboard.

The next frame is yours.
It takes a minute. Your photo keeps its number whatever happens.
