You can not send a photo from last year's participation. The proportions of the face are clearly marked, a strictly white background, the absence of a headdress. Even children under one year old need to take this photo. In the photo studio know all these requirements. Therefore, in order not to be disqualified due to the wrong photo, pay a small amount to the professionals and get a photo that meets all the requirements.
