*Guidelines*

Submit any art that depicts the raw experience of your country of origin or country of choice. People, places, and more.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions are limited to 2 a week to folders. Featured images will be chosen based on review made by admins.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission Criterion:

:bulletblue: All works are judged based on quality. This includes; exposure, composition, lighting, focus, detail, and all other basics of technique.

:bulletblue: We accept all forms of art, not only photography.

This art must adhere to the cultural aspects of the country; literature, music, painting, intellectual achievements, humanities, philosophy, lifestyle, customs/traditions, heritage, habits, surroundings/environment, values, religion, performing arts, cinema, etc. This is a very, very, wide spectrum and you are free to challenge us to find the culture in your work.

If you feel you disagree with our decision to decline you have the right to state your case for a chance to resubmit.

:bulletpurple: Being a member of a culture does not inherently make your work cultural.

:bulletpurple: A flower or animal does not count unless it is the "symbol" of a Nation, State/Province, City/Town.

:bulletpurple: Sky or Ocean is just about the same anywhere in the world. It will be automatically declined.

:bulletpurple: We require submissions to have a location, both the city and country of origin, in their deviation description for the sake of all viewers. We prefer specifics but a general area is acceptable. If you believe your work requires an explanation, please add that as well.

Follow these rules to increase your chances of being accepted and allow yourself to be more selective in what you submit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

:bulletred: Helpful Tip:
Aren't sure where to put your photo? You can go by how you were taught or by what culture you associate with; and you can click the link below of countries by continent.

I think this is a really cool group concept, and I am so glad to have found you! Cultural captures are my favorite subject matter and I am constantly taking photographing while travelling, especially things that capture the flavor of wherever I am. It is nice to have a forum of aficionados for that very thing.
(Blatant self-promo here)..... check my stuff out! :D All commentary and critiques are welcome.
