Guides

Task-oriented, step-by-step — how to do the things The Block is actually for.

  • Publish your first story

    Upload real-camera JPEGs, arrange your sequence, add the details, choose how it's presented, and publish.

  • Enter a competition

    Check the eligibility window, enter with a qualifying story, and vote once voting opens.

  • License your photography

    Opt individual stories into editorial licensing, see what desks can license, and what you keep.

  • Verification & Content Credentials

    What the gatekeeper checks before a photo can publish, and how Content Credentials prove it afterwards.

  • Manage your account

    Update your profile, control email preferences, and block or report another member.
