Hi benicio,
It should not cost a penny. I am checking it with view bug right now and will update soon
Hi @twitter-293781310:disqus, the entry rules have been updated, please use the coupon code above for free submission
It is also trying to charge me, said the first was free, but it still charges on the checkout… :/
Ok, now it did accept my submission for free.
Can we use WATERMARK?
I’m getting the same as other people. If you upload two it while it says one will be free it lists it as two charges ($17 something). Even with only one upload it still says it charges.

I cant seem to upload any photos!? when i drag them into the browser window when prompted the image just shows in the browser… Im using Chrome, anyone else having this issue?
They kind of worded it poorly, you have to make an account and upload the photos. Then when you go to the submit page it will show your uploaded pictures in a box below it. You drag them from that box to the submittion box.
Still charging people

Hi everyone, there seems to be a configuration issue with Viewbug that prevents free submissions. we are working with ViewBug to fix that. I will keep everyone posted.
“Submissions will be judged based on the creativity, originality and in accordance to the contest theme.” What’s the theme?
Also, if I were to shoot some B&Ws on film and scan them, would I still be eligible to enter?
Hi @facebook-1378187418:disqus , The theme is monochrome, other than that it is free style
and yes, scanned B&W is awesome!
Oh, good. Thank you! :)
still charges me. I tried both codes but none of them had any effect
I have the same issue ^
really apologize for this. should be fixed now. check the post for a new code
Thanks! that worked. Tip: after putting in the code, choose “Pay with Paypal” to avoid having to enter CC info.
really apologize for this. should be fixed now with a new code
Are there any rules regarding photoshop/photo manipulation? I want to submit a photoshopped surreal image.
heya, yes. you can only manipulate the photo for black and white conversion.
It didn’t prompt me to put in a cord or anything?
it will on the final stage of checkout.
(or it does not need a code if you only have one image)
