Hi @juliank, I just tried to submit a photo for the long exposure contest and received a messaged saying i was banned for not using my own photos.
I do use my own photos and i can prove that i do, see my comments on the image for proof https://steemit.com/longexposurephotography/@galione/longexposurephotography-competition
I think these flags were as a result of another "photographer" who i flagged for using images they had not taken but were submitting into competitions (again of which i had proof)
