Q - How much does it cost to join?
A - NOTHING! CameraClash is free to join!

Q - How do the battles work?
A - To keep it short, two photographers are each required to create a photo that illustrates the same theme. There can be a different theme for eah round. Each photgrapher attempts to convey that theme in their own way.

Q - How much time do I have to submit my photo?
A - The length of time is determined by the photographer that creates the battle. When creating a battle you can choose any amount of time from one to seven days. Keep in mind that once a photo is posted, the clock starts ticking for the other photographer! You may post your photo at any time during your turn. Don't let time run out on you!

Q - How do I submit my photo?
A - If you are the creator of a battle, as soon as another member joins your battle a button will appear on the page for your battle which you can click to upload you photo.

Q - How will I know what my theme is?
A - The themes are visible when you view your battle. When creating a battle, you can choose the themes for each round yourself or let the site choose them for you randomly. When you view open battles, the themes are visible. By joining a battle, you are committing to the themes that were chosen by the creator of that battle.
