State of Shades Points Tables

Here are the full list of points you can get for your State of Shades photos!

Any photo of someone wearing sunglasses score a base 20 points. If your photo contains any of the below, add these bonus points. So a photo of a person wearing shades at the Big Banana scores a total of 520 points. 

Have more than one challenge in the one photo and you get the points for each challenge, plus the combo bonus points. So for example, a photo of someone with white-grey hair wearing shades, while wearing a facemask, at a COVID-19 vaccination centre scores you 20 + 100 + 500 + 2000 + 1000 = 3620 points! 

Please try and make the place or thing you are doing obvious in the photo, like for example capturing the sign in the photo or ensuring there's enough background so we can see where you are.

Please don't do anything illegal or dangerous to get the photos, and remember to give clear descriptions in your post of what it is a photo of to make it easy for our volunteer judges to give you the right points. Good luck!
