Pretty bad when Apple displays the photo upside-down. Somebody aught to correct it for them.
The intent of the contest is "shot on iPhone", not "shot on iPhone and then edited to death with third-party software".
IMO, all editing should be done on-phone using only Apple-bundled software (like the Camera app). In other words, it should showcase what anybody could (theoretically) produce using just an iPhone.
I entered a shot in this contest and now I realize I didn't have a chance: I didn't have $2000 of editing software to make it more than it was in a way.
Everyone should learn to read contracts and rules of engagement if they want to work professionally with others.ARTISTS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR WORK
iPhone is not a camera platform, it's an app store platform. Not including works created using software and editing in a digital art contest or exhibition in this day and age is pointless.The intent of the contest is "shot on iPhone", not "shot on iPhone and then edited to death with third-party software".

Did I really have to add a /sarcasm tag in addition to the all caps?Everyone should learn to read contracts and rules of engagement if they want to work professionally with others.
Yes, if true. But hey nobody is forcing you to submit your photos if you don’t like the rules of the contest. Correct?“Apple announces a contest where they don’t properly compensate the winners” would be a more accurate headline....
“Apple announces a contest where they don’t properly compensate the winners” would be a more accurate headline....
"Apple throws out submissions by photographers demanding to be paid for VOLUNTARILY entering their photos into its contest" would have been a much better move by Apple and a much better headline...“Apple announces a contest where they don’t properly compensate the winners” would be a more accurate headline....
Nice shots but heavily post-produced.
Hahaha. You don't need $2,000 worth of editing software for these. A $0-5 app will suffice.
Then you obviously didn't read the Shot on iPhone Challenge Official Rules, did you?Wow. I didn't realize you could post produce the hell out of them to win. I thought it was supposed to be a natural shot without any gimmicks.
It was correct in the beginning though.WRONG.
First of all, "shameful" seems an odd choice here.So Apple has excluded older phones from winning the prize. Like iPhones 6, 5, 4, never existed. Shameful.
Do you state any actual facts when you respond on here? Or just throw **** at the wall and see what sticks?licensing fee : $1.
The prizes were awarded to phone models 7 up, or the current Apple line up.First of all, "shameful" seems an odd choice here.
More importantly though, it says ZERO about limiting iPhone models in the contest's rules. Not sure your source on that one, but you're incorrect. Shameful.

It’s a little curious that Apple never explained what the license fee is. You’d agree.Do you state any actual facts when you respond on here? Or just throw **** at the wall and see what sticks?
More ****. Still no substantiation.The prizes were awarded to phone models 7 up, or the current Apple line up.
Apple used the filename, which included the contestant name and phone model number, to exclude older phones from participating.
How can ten entries fail to include winners from at least any one of iPhone models 6, 5, 4?
Complete marketing exercise for Apple who had a tough end to 2018.
