Creating an account

What is a user account?

A user account on Picstar is your public profile as a photographer. From it you can enter contests, join associations, compete in leagues, and showcase your photographs and awards.

Step 1 — Access the website

Go to picstar.es and click Login.

Step 2 — Enter your email address

Type your email address and confirm. Picstar uses a magic link system: you don't need to create or remember any password.

Step 3 — Check your email

You will receive an email with an access link. Click it to sign in automatically.

  • If the account already existed, you'll go straight into the application.
  • If the account did not exist, the profile creation form will open.

Step 4 — Complete your profile

Fill in the following fields:

  • Nickname — public, unique username
  • Phone — required
  • Date of birth
  • Preferred language
  • Description / Bio — free text about yourself
  • Social networks — Instagram or others (optional)
  • Profile picture — an image that represents you (optional)
  • Cover photo — header image for your public profile (optional)

The address is not required at registration.

What does your public profile look like?

Once created, your profile shows:

  • Your nickname and description
