How and when will the winners be notified?

Once the winning photos have been selected, the winners will be notified by mail. The winning employee photos will be printed in the January/February issue of Costco Today in the following calendar year.

Will my photo be returned?

All mailed-in photographs become the property of Costco Wholesale and will not be returned. However, all photographers will continue to hold original copyright of the entered photograph.

Do I need to resize my photo to enter online?

There is no need to resize your photo for online submission. If you wish to crop your photo for compositional reasons, that is recommended, but please stay within the 4" x 6" size requirements.

Are only international photos eligible?

While this is an international competition, the theme is “Focus On Costco.” This year we’re emphasizing our company, our jobs and our lives as co-workers wherever we may find ourselves. The judges are simply looking for the best you have to offer.
