SWIPE CAROUSEL BELOW TO SEE ALL OF THE AWARDS TO BE GIVEN
Since good work is not just about getting one or two lucky shots, but rather about a sustained vision across a body of work, we will be looking at broader e-portfolios of work via a link like Flickr or Instagram.
We want the work chosen to be considered more than just good “mobile” work so we have invited a diverse, distinguished group of jurors comprising three from the fine art photography world and three top mobile photography artists.
The winners will be announced and their work shown at Mobile Masters/Macworld in San Francisco on March 26, 2014. This expo is the largest gathering of Apple products and fans (about 35,000) and has run for the last 28 years. Tap for more info on Macworld Mobile Photo Event
Last year's edition of this beautifully designed, highly acclaimed edition has been downloaded in over 60 different countries, receiving glowing reviews from many top Mobile photo blogs. Many other prizes are also being awarded!!! See image slider above.

We need you to supply a horizontal video (taken with your iPhone about a minute or 2 long) explaining your background and why mobile photography is so satisfying to you. And / Or a short sound only recording of your processing technique of each of the 6 images chosen.
We will need about 250 words with some details about your shooting and app processing techniques in general.
The links to the original portfolio you sent to be judged along with 2 other related links (Like Facebook, Twitter your Website) and your email address. Look at last year’s edition of "Mobile Masters" in the iTunes app store for examples.

JUDGING AND SUBMISSION INFO We will be looking at broader e-portfolios of work (via a link). These can be presented on any platform, such as Flickr, Instagram, Adobe Behance, Eyem etc. We recommend a concise portfolio as we will look at your first 40-50 images. First round of judging will be done by one mobile photographer and one fine arts judge. Second round e-portfolios will be looked at by all 6 judges.
Please do NOT send actual images, just a link so they can be viewed as a group.
Try to create distinct set of images in one link for the judges to see. (Flickr has some really nice tools to create different sets.)
Organize your link in to one of the 2 categories
1) Image Discovery or straight shots (can have some filtering for mood or clarity but not in ways that change or distort the image) 2) Image Creation or shots that are digitally manipulated with one or more apps (these images are abstractions, composites or painted to take the image into another context)You can send to both categories BUT each would carry its own entry fee.
We Need you phone number AND email address as we do not want you notice to you to get lost in your spam.
No entry will be processed unless the entry fee is attached or has been pre-paid online. Work submitted without the proper forms and payment will be disqualified. Work must be postmarked by the deadline posted online. Mobile Masters retains the right to refuse any entry for any reason.
