Q6: I am having a lot of photoworks/series done by me so can I submit multiple entries for the Open and Solo category ?
The CWC as a community is particularly welcoming to newcomers, providing ample space for debutants. However, for non-CWC participants, the curation of submitted photos will be influenced by the theme of the exhibition and the volume of entries received. Our priority is to showcase a diverse range of contributors, so we may prioritize featuring a larger number of individuals rather than multiple works from a single person. If there is a low influx of entries, we will notify you to submit, but only Open or Solo submissions will be considered for selection.

Absolutely! We encourage everyone, even non-participants, to attend and appreciate the incredible talent on display.
