Submit Image
Terms and Conditions
Everyone is allowed to participate in the competition, whether a member of AKM e.V. or not! Those who wish to participate in the photo contest should please note the following:
- The image shows an atmospheric phenomenon. (Other images will be rejected.)
- Everyone can submit one image per month.
- The image size must be at least 900x600 pixels.
- Deadline is the last day of the following month of the date taken. (e.g. deadline for March is 30.04.)
By submitting an image, you agree that your image may be published on www.meteoros.de and possibly in the club magazine METEOROS and can be included in the image archive. The authors' publication rights remain unaffected. This means that only the author decides on any further publications.
The image of the month is chosen monthly by a jury. This consists of AKM members who are familiar with the theoretical backgrounds and frequency of most phenomena. The selection is based not only on the visual beauty of the image but also considers the rarity of the individual phenomena. Additionally, care is taken to ensure that the winning images come from different thematic areas whenever possible.
Currently, the jury consists of:
- Prof. Dr. Kristian Schlegel, Kaltenburg-Lindau
- Dr. Karl Kaiser, A-Schlägl
- Claudia and Wolfgang Hinz, Schwarzenberg
- Hans Schremmer, Wegberg
- Dieter Klatt, Oldenburg
- Mark Vornhusen, CH-Gais
- Benjamin Kühne, Cologne
- Reinhard Nitze, Barsighausen
- Peter Krämer, Bochum
- Thomas Klein, Miesbach
- Andreas Möller, Berlin
If a jury member has submitted an image in the respective month, they are excluded from the vote. The others submit their evaluation, consisting of 3 points for the individual winning image, as well as 2 and 1 point(s) for the other favorites.
The image with the most points is crowned the winner and then appears on the homepage of www.meteoros.de for a month
From the monthly winning images, forum participants vote for the "Image of the Year" which is then honored with a prize.
