(Single & series judged separately.  Series up to 4 images, apart from Project)
Portrait

A representation of a living being, where the primary focus is on the person/animal within the frame.

Life

Covers imagery of any living (or dead) beings, whether they are figurative, abstract, spontaneous or set up. The primary focus of the image, in this case, must be the interaction between the subject and the environment in which they are present.

Environment

landscape, interior, situation or place where the whole, rather than the individual elements, is the primary focus.

Object

Inanimate object(s) or still life.  Can be any object in any place, the emphasis being the object rather than its surroundings.

Project

A series of up to 12 images that portray a narrative, telling a visual story.

Get your entries in early this year to benefit from our Early Bird running between 21st March-1st April as prices will go up 20% thereafter.
