photo moderation
So you’ve taken a great shot and submitted it to a chain. Before anyone else can vote or see your submission, all photos & comments submitted to a chain must be approved by Canon.
You will be notified by email when your submission to the site has been either approved or rejected. If rejected, the reasons will be explained so that you can resubmit. Moderation will take a maximum of 72 hours from when your image is submitted.
For more information about moderation, refer to the Terms & Conditions here.
