Photographs should accurately reflect the subject matter and the scene as it appeared. Photos that have been digitally altered beyond standard optimization will be disqualified.

Allowable manipulations are:

·       Cropping (but not canvas extension);

·       Moderate changes to colour, white balance, tone, lighting levels and curves, shadows and highlights, saturation, contrast, sharpness.

·       Moderate dodging and burning; and

·       Removal of dust spots and reduction of image noise.

·       Images may be colour or monochrome.

·        Images captured with multiple exposures (taken consecutively at the same time at the same location), for example, HDR, focus stacking or panoramas are acceptable provided the image accurately portrays the scene photographed.

·       All entries must be taken safely and in a manner that complies with local laws and regulations

·       You must have appropriate written permissions from landholders where images have been captured from private property or model release forms where images portray identifiable persons

·       ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE This is a photography competition and, as such, any entered images must have been entirely captured with a camera (digital, film or phone camera) by the entrant.

Images edited using Generative AI in programs such as Photoshop AI, Topaz Photo AI, etc, where pixels are added that did not exist in the original photo, may not be entered.
