Once you have sent these photographs to the contest, you are entirely on the mercy of judges' verdict. This is the stage when you don't have the control on what will happen next. The best and the easiest rule to enter any contest is to follow the rules of the contest. I must tell that all the contests that I have I have judged or took part in, had particular set of rules.

But take my word for it; they are surely important for the judges.
