A photo contest has to be judged by "independent" judges who are presumably guided by a set of rules in order to be listed in this category.
Sites which want to take money but do not wish to be "accountable" by way of providing lists of winners and/or contact information beyond some anonymous form or email address would appear to be LEAD-GENERATING SITES (or worse) and will NOT be listed. Think: is the end user served by sending money and pictures of minors to unaccountable "contests"?
"Contests" which are just "vote for your favorite picture" do not belong here, but rather in Recreation/Picture_Ratings.
Sites which take "entry fee" money but, based on information found on the site, seem to randomly choose winners for cash or other valuable prizes are gambling sites - lotteries! Such sites should go to Games/Gambling/Lotteries/Online.
Site descriptions should have a consistent format of:
Title (whenever possible): TheNameOfTheSite.com or, when that''s not possible, a reasonable title gathered from self-references on the site.
Description MUST include: Free or not free (or both), the ages covered in the format of Numeral - Numeral (like 0 - 5 or 3 - 12) and frequency of contests (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.). Do NOT describe prizes given since this can change at any time. See ODP guidelines for more details about proper descriptions and titles.
Do not gratuitously use the words BABY, BABIES, CONTEST, CONTESTS, PRIZE, PRIZES, PHOTO, PHOTOGRAPH, or PHOTOGRAPHS.
Finally, the intent of the site should be clearly about a PHOTO CONTEST and not about selling products or providing "useful links" to other sites (whether affiliate links or not). Too much off-topic content may cause a site to either not be listed or else delisted at a later date.
