Hi all,

Apologies to mods if this is inappropriate as I can't find the rules here - so please kindly delete if that's the case.

For most of last year I have been working on a personal project. Being a watch collector I really enjoy viewing watch photos.

I have created a website called ARTTEM (www.arttem.co.uk) is an annual "Online photographic competition" where users submit and ALSO VOTES for the submitted photos - we don't have a selected panel of judges. The catch is, you can only SUBMIT or VOTE for ONE photo per competition category (you can re-submit your photo/vote before the competition category ends).

We decided to have a voting system as we believe social media is now getting very meaningless with "Likes", by hosting competitions and limiting to ONE vote/photo submission per competition category we think it will drum up more interest and quality. And provide a better "social recognition" when fellow watch enthusiasts are involved with the winning decision.

For example we have an annual competition called "Look of the day" of which its category will be monthly (daily if there's more uptake), therefore we will have 12 category winners for the entire year, of which the ultimate competition winner will be the winner with the most votes. Each user can only vote or submit ONE photo for each category, i.e. in this example is one vote/photo per month.

We seem to be lacking submissions for "Look of the Day", is basically a category for people pairing their watch with their outfits/or look. E.g your suit with your dress watch or your sports watch with your Common Projects,etc

The GOAL is to exhibit the winning photos around the world if we have enough up take. I personally feel "watch photography" is highly under rated in the "real world" (i.e not online) it’s time for some of these beautiful photos be printed and shared amongst fellow watch enthusiasts and photography lovers.

I hope you all will like it, it’s been months of hard work. Pls PM me if you have any feedbacks/suggestions or email me at [email protected]

Thanks Phil

p.s. you can login and submit your photos directly via your Instagram login, hopefully this will be convenient for you.
