Submitting Your Photographs to be Critiqued

The program we use to submit photographs to Critique Sessions, “PhotoContestPro,” is based on individual email addresses as UserIDs.

If you joined Audubon Everglades as a “Household” and both of you wish to submit photographs for critique, each of you must have an individual email address because our critique program will only accept one name per email address. See chart below.

Each individual email address is allowed to submit a limited amount of photographs. If you share a “joint” email address, you will have to split, between the two of you, the total allotment of photographs permitted. See Critique Session page for more information.

	To Register to Submit Your Photographs to be Critiqued
Info to Include in Email:	First and last name, email address, & phone number
If you joined as a Household, your options are:	Create a new email address for one of you or split the amount of photographs you enter under one of your names with the joint email address.
Household Option 1: Create a new email address	If you choose option 1, email us: Your new email address And the name it should be associated with
Household Option 2: Keep the shared, joint email and split the amount of photographs you submit	If you choose option 2, email us: The name that should be associated with your shared “joint” email address. (It can only be one name.)
Where to send your registration email	Email your registration request to: aepgregister@auduboneverglades.org

• Please note that it may take up to 7 days for your information to be processed, which may affect your ability to, submit photographs to an upcoming critique session.
• In summary: The software program we are using for critiques (PhotoContestPro) uses email addresses as UserIDs and will not accept the same email address for two different people. Please reference the chart above for options.

Guests

Currently, all AE Photography Group meetings are conducted through Zoom, and attendance is limited to Audubon Everglades members.  However

• Guests are welcome to attend up to two consecutive group meetings but may NOT submit photos to critique sessions or participate in discussions as only AE members are eligible.
• If you wish to attend an AEPG Zoom meeting as a guest, please email:  aepgregister@auduboneverglades.org and include your first and last name and request the link to attend (but not participate in) the next Zoom meeting.

Meetings

Until further notice all meetings will be conducted remotely using ZOOM.

• Most meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month with a possible additional Workshop interspersed, from September through June.  See our Calendar page.
• Zoom meetings begin with “social time” at 6:45 P.M. and meeting starts at 7:00 P.M.
