There were some rules that participants had to follow to qualify. Participants must be aged 18 and above and own a Samsung Galaxy S-series smartphone. An online platform was given to the participants to upload their photographs through a dedicated online platform within the submission window. This would allow Samsung to curate all the entries into a large digital gallery.
