What photo size or crop ratio should I use for my award entry?

What size or crop ratio should my award entry be?

The award entry cropper supports the same aspect ratios as Instagram:

  • 1:1 — square
  • 4:5 — portrait
  • 1.91:1 — landscape

What if my photo is a different ratio (e.g. 3:2)?

A 3:2 crop isn't one of the Instagram presets, so it isn't directly selectable. Crop your image to the nearest supported ratio — usually 4:5 for portraits or 1.91:1 for wide shots — and it will display correctly. Your full-resolution file is what the jury reviews.


TL;DR: Use Instagram ratios — 1:1, 4:5, or 1.91:1.
