FAQ
Q. I have a question about my wedding pictures: does there always have to be people in the picture or can I also submit pictures with only details from the dress, the bouquet or something else which belongs to that specific wedding?
A. You can enter any picture in the panel you want. So, it doesn't have to be all people or faces. Just make sure the whole panel forms a unity, that holds it together.
Q. What must be on the CD/DVD that has to accompany the pictures?
A. All panels must come with a CD/DVD containing a digital version of all 12 images separately in a minimum resolution of approx. 3000 x 2400 pixels (for printing the in next QEP-book, promotional exhibitions i.e. at Photokina, etc.) and a digital version of a contact sheet with proofs of the same pictures in the order as they have to be exhibited during the judging session.
To help the webmaster it is strongly recommended to add to the CD/DVD a second low resolution version (1024 x 819 px) of the 12 images for web site and presentation purposes. Please don't leave large borders around your low resolution pictures when they are not an essential part of the layout. So your pictures will appear larger on the web site.
Don't forget to mention your full name and address on the CD/DVD cover and on the CD/DVD.
Q. What about the contact sheet?
A. All panels must come with a printed A4 or A3 size contact sheet of the submitted pictures in order as they have to be exhibited during the judging session. A digital version of this contact sheet must also be on the CD/DVD that comes with the pictures.

Q. How do I have to send the pictures?
A. All photographic prints must be submitted to the appropriate National Association headquarters in a lightweight reusable case (fibre, aluminium, etc) for easy handling and return shipping. Don't use cardboard boxes and tape. Cases must be easily reusable for return shipping. 
While every care will be taken with materials submitted, it is a condition of entry that neither FEP nor any Member Association accepts any responsibility for any loss or damage caused.
Q. How much is the application fee?
A. An application fee of EUR 150,00 for the QEP and of EUR 250,00 for the Master QEP is due to cover the costs, such as venue charges, certification, jury costs, etc.
Q. What is the deadline for sending the application form?
A. The application form must arrive at the FEP office at the latest on April 30th for the May/June judging session or on October 31st for the November/December session.
Q. How can I get my pictures back after the judging session?
A. To cover the costs of return transportation of your works to the address indicated on the application form you must enclose proof of an additional bank transfer in the amount of EUR 60.00. Do not complete this part of the application if you do not require your prints to be returned.
Sometimes the delegates or judges of your national association can bring and return the pictures when coming to the judging session. Ask your national association for more information.
