All competitions

Season 01

Frame the Unseen. Capture the everyday India most people walk past.

A single Instagram Reel. One honest frame of the country you live in. The internet decides who walks away with the prize.

How it works

Four steps. No gatekeepers.

We stripped competitions down to what photographers actually want: clear rules, a public scoreboard, and money in the bank within a week.

  1. Step 01/4

    Record & Post

    Film a high-quality vertical Reel (up to 60s) showcasing your best perspective. Upload it on Instagram with our official hashtag.

    • Use #PhotoGigsFrame
    • Keep it under 60 seconds
    • Original content only
  2. Step 02/4

    Collaborate

    Add @photogigs as a collaborator on your post. We'll accept all entries that meet the basic quality guidelines.

    • Acceptance within 24h
    • Added to official playlist
  3. Step 03/4

    Engage

    The scoreboard is live! Shares, saves, and comments on your Reel determine your rank. Natural engagement only.

    • Public scoreboard
    • Real-time tracking
  4. Step 04/4

    Win the prize

    The top 3 creators on the scoreboard when the timer hits zero split the prize pool directly to their UPI/Bank.

    • Top 3 winners
    • Instant payout
    • Certificate of Merit

Scoring system

The scoreboard is public.

No anonymous jury. No “winner’s choice” emails. Every entry is scored by a weighted blend of real platform metrics, pulled directly from Instagram API and published live.

  • API-based, not opinion-based
  • Updated every few minutes
  • Public leaderboard for every season
  • Zero bias. Zero backroom shortlists.
