Thank you for registering for the 3rd Annual Laguna del Lagarto Nature Photography Special Monthly Winner Competition.
The Special Monthly Competition will be extended through May 31, 2021 on account of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Additionally, please note that monthly winners will be selected through May 2020 and then will resume again for November 2020 through May 2021.. Please find detailed instructions on how to upload your images for judging below.
Each photographer who visits the Laguna del Lagarto Eco-Lodge during the Tournament Period may submit up to two images per month (free) in the Monthly Winner Competition. Winners will be announced for each month that more than two participants have submitted images. One winning image will be selected each month and the winner will receive a free entry into the main Tournament for their Monthly Winner (or an image of their choice). The winning images will also be shared through various social media outlets. Important Note: Entering an image in the Monthly Winner Competition does NOT enter your image in the main Tournament. This is a totally separate contest. If you want to include your Monthly Winner submissions in the main Tournament you will have to re-submit with your final Tournament portfolio.

SUBMITTING PHOTOS:
- Before starting the submission process please make sure images are in JPEG format sized to 1024 pixels on the longest side (For example: 683 pixels high by 1024 pixels wide if the camera has a standard DSLR 2:3 aspect ratio.) JPEGs should be around 1MB in file size. At the bottom of this message will be a set of pull down boxes. Start by clicking the Choose Files button under Select Images. This will allow you to access files on your computer in the standard way. You may select multiple photos at the same time.
- Next click the arrow at the edge under the Select Image Category. This will bring up a drop down menu with the available category. Click on the appropriate category for the chosen photos and then click the Upload button. NOTE: If your files are over 4MB size you will not get an error message but the photos will not upload.
- Photos will now show under the UPLOADED tab. You can choose to see all photos or view them by category by clicking the green tabs. At this point you can still delete images by checking the circle in the photo and then clicking the delete button at the bottom of the section. You can submit photos one by one or you can use the Check All button at the bottom of the section to submit a group. Once you have green checks on the photos you want to submit click the green SUBMIT button at the bottom of the section. NOTE: Once photos have been submitted they can NOT be altered or deleted. NOTE: Photos must be under the SUBMITTED tab to qualify for judging.
- The process above may be repeated as many times as needed.
