and this year, there are more prizes and more ways to enter.
as for the exposure you may expect by participating in the everyman pro, it is an affair with a world-wide audience. entrants, followers, and judges come from all over the planet which is important because the everyman is very much about diversity. diversity in age and style and interest and technique and opinion. the glue that holds it together and fosters consistent growth and evolution is a shared adoration for the captured image because this has proven to be the universal message all people can identify with.
you should find all the pertinent details below. if after reviewing the particulars you still have questions, they might be answered on the questions page. if you still have questions after that, email me

| EVERY ENTRANT GETS A PAGE LIKE THIS (sample to right) FOR EACH OF THEIR ENTERED PHOTOS | |
| in the pro version of the everyman the prizes are higher. for this reason there is an entry fee. but to lessen the sting of an entry fee you get something in return: links. links to your website(s) where you sell and/or showcase your work. how this will play out is after the contest is judged and names are displayed with the photographs, you may include up to two links to your professional and/or personal sites so should people visiting the site like your work and want to make one of your prints their own, they can. additionally, you may include an artist statement defining your style or interest. both the links and artist statement are optional. as for their longevity they will be left in place for the life of this contest which is at the moment entering its tenth year. there is a sample gallery page to give a better sense of what visitors will see when viewing your work in the galleries.
did i mention this is one of the best known photo contest in the world. my main and consistent competitors have historically been national geographic and the smithsonian. in 2008, my amateur contest contained entries from more than 85 countries. your photos will be seen by many people keenly interested in photography so view the entry fee as a one time expense for a life-long advertisement on a highly trafficked and very specialized website that caters to a worldwide audience. |

 entry into the everyman happens online. after entering, you will have the ability to change any of your details and/or images right up to the close of the submission window (march 31st, 2010). so you can enter with one image or even no images and add them later which may not be a bad idea since i’m limiting this years image pool to 1,500 photographs. and that would obviously be the first paid 1,500. http://www.theeveryman.com/pro101.php |
 would you like to judge the everyman? i’m always looking for fresh and diverse personalities to evaluate the affair. many folks enjoy the judging experience. are you one of them? to learn more about becoming an everyman judge, view the judge’s page. |
