## What is MasterPics?

Win photo contests with real prizes, judged by fellow photographers.

MasterPics is a photography game for anyone with a camera or a phone. Enter themed contests, vote on other people's shots with a swipe, and climb the podium. Your photo competes. Your following doesn't.

HOW IT WORKS
• Enter a contest. Pick a theme, like Street, Golden Hour or Night Portraits, and upload your best shot. New accounts get 5 Golden Keys, enough for a first entry.
• Vote to stay visible. Swipe through the entries and vote. Every vote tops up your exposure tank, which keeps your own photo in front of voters.
• Place and win. The top five in every contest earn rewards. In cash prize contests, the winner is paid within 48 hours.
• Climb nine ranks. Go from Freshman to Legend, with rewards at every step.
• Host your own. Reach Qualified rank and run a contest on a theme you choose.

GOLDEN KEYS, FILLS AND SWAPS
• Golden Keys enter contests. Most contests cost 5 Keys. Earn them by finishing tasks, ranking up and placing in contests, or get more in the Shop.
• Fills top up your exposure tank when it runs low.
• Swaps let you change the photo in a contest you have already entered.
• Points move you up the ranks.

FOR EVERY KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHER
Shoot street, travel, landscapes, portraits, food or pets? There is a contest for you, with new themes every few days. Beginners and experienced photographers play by the same rules.

MASTERPICS PREMIUM
Premium gives you 10 Golden Keys a week, 3 Fills a week, 2 Swaps a month and no ads. You can play without it.

Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings.

CONTEST RULES
MasterPics contests are run by MasterPics Studio S.R.L. Rules, eligibility and prize terms are shown in the app for every contest. Apple is not a sponsor of, and is not involved in, any MasterPics contest.

Download MasterPics and enter your first contest today.
