ANNOUNCING THE 2024 CDH PHOTO CONTEST

For the last two years, we’ve held a Halloween Photo Contest. It’s been a lot of fun and very popular. So we’re expanding things this year. A more general contest. More categories! More fun!

The contest will run from December 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025. Members will be able to submit photos in five categories:

1. Costumes. (This will take the place of the Halloween contest)
2. A Day in the Life. (A general category that includes shopping, restaurants, vacations, get-togethers, and a lot more)
3. Formal Wear / Glamour.
4. Seasons. (Fall/winter/spring/summer fashion, but also Christmas, New Year’s, and other holidays)
5. Best Features. (Leg shots, body pics, and nails)

You may submit multiple photos in each category, and you may enter as many categories as you would like. The best photo of each category — as determined by our crack team of judges — will receive three months free Duchess membership. There will also be a Grand Prize winner — the overall best photo chosen from all the entries. That member will receive one year of free Princess membership.

Staff members may enter their photos into the contest, but they are not eligible to win any prizes. Like in previous contests, our judges will select the best staff photo from among all the entries. Their prize? Bragging rights!

Here are the rules for the photos:

a) Photos must be submitted to the public gallery from December 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025. To be officially entered, you must specify one of the five categories for your photo. Those categories aren’t in the system yet, but they will be by December 1.
b) Photos must be a picture of you taken in 2024. No vintage photos from previous years.
c) Any photo submitted to the contest must be new. We won’t accept a duplicate resubmission of a photo that has been previously published. However, you may submit a photo that is a variation of a photo that has appeared previously in the public gallery. For example, a photo of you wearing an outfit that you’ve shown us before, but with an alternative pose, different angle, or in another location.

More reminders will be coming your way when we get closer to the start date of December 1. But hopefully this announcement will give you plenty of lead time — to start preparing to show us your best, most beautiful photos!

Stephanie,

To submit a photo for the contest, all you have to do is upload your photo to the public gallery. Just like any other photo. Make sure to indicate that the photo is intended for the contest when you choose the category for the photo. And don’t submit anything for the contest until after December 1.

The same rules and regulations apply to contest photos as they do to any other public photos. For example, app-enhanced photos are not permitted. There’s a maximum limit of three photos that you can upload in any single day. And if you have Lady membership, then you can have no more than five photos total in your portfolio.

I noticed that you do have Lady membership, and that your portfolio currently contains five photos. So if you want to submit a photo for the contest, you would have to delete one of your prior photos first. Otherwise, you would be over the limit. This is perfectly allowable — we have members do this all the time.

Stephanie, to submit a photo to the public gallery, first go to our photo section. You’ll be able to find that on the drop-down menu. Once you’re on the Crossdresser Photos page, there should be button you can select that says Upload a Photo. Tap on that to go to a new page entitled Upload Your Photo. Scroll down a bit to where it says Drop files here. Click on Choose file, and you will then have access to your personal photo library. Find the photo you want to upload and choose it. At that point all you need to do is choose a photo caption, description, and category. Check the box to let us know that you have read and agree to our terms of service. And then tap on Upload. 

If you’re still having a problem, send me a private message and I’ll be able to give you further assistance.

I should also point out that you do, in fact, already have five photos in your portfolio.

Thank you for organising this Angela. Would be allowed to use photos from my private gallery that have been published on the public area?

Members are not allowed to resubmit a duplicate photo that has already appeared previously in the public gallery. However, if you have a photo in your private collection, one that has never appeared in the public gallery, it would be perfectly acceptable to submit that to the public gallery for the contest.

@theunrealangelawagner Angela, in this case presumably the normal rules on public photos still apply?

Yes. All of the policies that apply to the public photos in general, also apply to any photos that are submitted for the contest. No app-enhanced photos, no shots involving lingerie or undergarments, A maximum limit of three photos submitted per day, etc.

@theunrealangelawagner Well, I had thought my string bikini was not to see the light of day until next summer. It is all changed now with this contest. 😉

@theunrealangelawagner If I wore my Barbie outfit, which I wore to the Barbie movie in a theater with pink heels, skirt etc., will it qualify as I had it uploaded once and then took it down a coupe of days later? Can't remember why I took it down. It is o longer in my profile. 

P.S. - I'll have Ken snap new photos.

April, our policy is that once a photo has been posted in the public gallery, you are not permitted to upload that exact same photo again. Even if it no longer appears in your portfolio. 

But to remind you, if you have an alternative photo of you in your Barbie outfit, a picture that is not an exact duplicate of your published photo, it would be OK to submit that. Let’s say that you took a number of pictures of you in your Barbie costume at the movie theater, perhaps in different locations or with different poses. You would be allowed to submit one of those photos to the public gallery for the contest. Because that would be a new photo.

@theunrealangelawagner Thank you kindly Angela for the early heads up on this contest.  I haven't uploaded any photos yet so this will be a good reason to start.  Think I'll take a photo in my favorite Christmas outfit.

Cute

@crazycynthia I know what you mean Cynthia.  I too struggled for the courage to make my first upload.  Many days with the mouse pointer hovering over the "submit" button.  But a couple days ago I uploaded my first photo to the public section and I've gotten nothing but positive feedback and likes.  This site is non-judgmental and non-condescending.  Try uploading a "test" picture like I did and you'll see what I mean.  You'll be glad you did.  Think of it as a speed bump...it's in your way and causes you to slow down...but once you're over it you can roll on freely!

If a photo is uploaded into the public gallery does that make it visible/searchable to all of the Internet?
