Escolhas de formato is our monthly contest series. Launched in February 2018, it’s an open call for creative work of all kinds, always free to enter. At the beginning of every month, we’ll announce a new theme for you to interpret.
So far, we’ve asked our community to submit work around themes that included autorretrato, o cidade, o ambientee viagens. Our cover image here is from Format Picks June, shot by Christian Carroll.
This month, we’re keeping thing short and sweet. You have just two weeks to enter this edition of Format Picks, and you won’t need to full out an online submission. Entry will be just on Instagram for this edition. Read on to find out how to submit.
August’s contest theme
This month, we’ve selected home as the theme for Format Picks. We want to see what home means to you, whether that’s a memory of the place you grew up in, the apartment you live in now, your parent’s home, what the concept of home means to you, your dream home, the country that’s home for you… As always, feel free to get creative with this theme.
Como enviar
It’s super simple. Just head to Instagram and tag #formatpickshome e @useformat on the post you want to enter. You don’t have to create a new post necessarily; feel free to add the tag to an existing post if you think it’s a good fit for the theme of home.
Posts can be image or video format, and can include as many images as you like. As usual, we’re looking for visual work of all kinds. Photos, drawings, paintings, videos, whatever medium you use to create. However, entry is limited to one post per person. If you use the hashtag on more than one post, we will only consider the first post in our judging.
We will be judging entries based on relevance to the theme, and that includes the caption of your post. So feel free to include some details about what home means to you in your caption. You may want to explain whose home is depicted, where it’s located, why it’s important.
