Please note that from the 2025/26 club season we replaced PhotoEntry with Pixoroo online competition entry software

To use Pixoroo for the first time

New members will get an email inviting you to set up a Pixoroo account. Follow the instructions to enter your details and create your own password. Once the club Admin have confirmed this you will be notified and will be able to upload images as detailed below.

Preparing images for upload to Pixoroo

1. Resize your images to either 1600px wide or 1200px high. We have the option to change this in the future, but initially we will keep these settings. Pixoroo will accept larger files but will automatically resize them to the size specified in the competition details.
2. Give your images titles by changing the file name only – eg from IMG_1234.jpg to Dartmoor Sunset.jpg. You do not need to insert either the title or your name anywhere else – Pixoroo will pick these up directly. If you forget to change the file name before uploading, it can be done after uploading, by highlighting the title in your list of entries and overwriting it. Pixoroo will save any changes.
3. Set the image profile to sRGB. This is not essential but will give the best projected quality.

Uploading images to Pixoroo

1. Open Pixoroo (www.Pixoroo.com) and log into your account.
2. Select ‘Club Entrant’ from the Profile list.
3. The KDCC Entrant Portal will open, showing all active events.
4. From the panel on the left of the screen choose ‘Non Comps’ to see a list of photo challenges, photo shoots etc, or ‘Standalones’ for Open, Themed and British Wildlife competitions. The arrows next to these headings will open the categories. Click ‘Enter Now’.
5. Once uploaded the titles can be changed as above. Images can also be deleted and replaced, up to the event deadline.

All images, including those you intend to submit as prints, should be uploaded to Pixoroo in this way. Finally, to complete your competition entry, email kdccphoto@outlook.com to specify your reserve images. See Reserve Images below.

Reserve images

In order to control the number of entries per competition, members are asked to identify “reserve images” which may be removed by the Internal Competition Secretary if the total number of entries exceeds 60 or 70.

• For each competition, if you enter more than three images across all the categories, please identify as reserves your fourth and fifth images, as necessary.
• Members may choose reserves from several different categories, so reserves can be a mix of prints and PDIs or a mix of Flora/Fauna in Wildlife, to leave a total of three or four to be judged on any one evening.
• Email kdccphoto@outlook.com and identify your reserves in the email with the numbers 4 and 5 (if you enter that many), to indicate that 5 should be withdrawn first, then 4.
• If no email is received identifying reserve images, the Internal Competition Secretary will make the decision which to withdraw if entry numbers do need to be reduced.
