II. High-Quality Content

High-quality content refers to the content that has been marked as "Featured," which includes creations, reviews, and approved Fly Spots. Featured content has the chance to be showcased prominently on the homepage, allowing for increased exposure. Submitted content can only be recommended one time. Avoid submitting duplicate posts that have already been selected as Featured.

（1）Getting Your Creations Featured

Submitted entries will be evaluated and selected based on multiple criteria, including the subject location or camera perspective, composition, camera movements, artistic vision, and post-production techniques.

• Photos: We encourage a great variety of photography categories. Photos with the same theme or of the same category are recommended to be presented in the form of a photo series or collection to showcase a cohesive narrative.
• Videos: We encourage innovative and expressive video content. Don't forget to add a high-quality cover image for your video to attract more views.

• Resolution: Submitted photos or videos should be of high resolution and good quality and capture the view or scenery of the subject in clear detail.
• Watermark: It is advised to minimize or avoid the use of watermarks in the submitted entries. For selected or recommended entries, we will credit the authors by providing proper author attribution when displaying them.
• Size and Format: Submitted entries should be in proper sizing and not be too long or shot from an odd perspective. Screenshots of a video or an aircraft's camera view are unlikely to be recommended.
• Photography Subject: Your photo or video should have a clear subject, be relevant to a specific Fly Spot, and can serve as a reference for other photographers.
• Creativity: Content should be creative, unique, and capable of capturing the attention of the audience and showcasing a unique sense of aesthetic appeal and style.
• Rich Content: Content should be diverse, visually appealing, and engaging to the audience, encompassing a variety of themes and landscapes, while also incorporating elements of culture and local characteristics as appropriate.
