"are you all in?" expert jury
The adidas expert jury is made up of athletes, photographers and professional mountain guides that will choose the three best entries out of the entries voted into the top 10.
The judges will be checking whether all the requirements are met - so don’t forget about the 3 finger sign in your "all in" self portrait!
The main things for them are authenticity, your all in picture and how challenging the project.
