Basic Rules

Pictures taken in Coney Island on past days and parades are eligible for all other prizes. This contest is for pictures documenting the event, not for images hallucinated by an AI.

Pictures may be taken as a conventional flat (2D) image and converted into 3D using any method. Suggested resolution is a minimum of 1920x1080. Please limit file size to about 10 megs each.

By entering you retain your copyright and grant NYSA non-exclusive license and permission to use the image solely as part of this and future contests, and the promotion thereof, in perpetuity, on every form of reproducing an image that exists now and in the future. Like if Elon Musk wants to Xeet your picture straight into the brain of a Neurolink user as part of an announcement of our next contest, you have given us permission to do so.

Entries will be evaluated by our panel of judges. A major component of the score will be based on effective and artistic use of 3 dimensional composition, how well depth is part of the image.
