Entries are judged on technical quality, originality, and artistic merit.
Save each of your images as low-resolution JPEGs files NO LARGER THAN 500K, at 72 ppi, at approx. 6" on the longest side. Label each file with your First and Last name, underscore, subject, underscore, the category, underscore, then ".jpg". (Example: JohnDoe_fox_wildlife.jpg)
All photographs must accurately reflect the subject matter as it appeared in the viewfinder. Nothing should be added to an image, and aside from dust spots, nothing should be taken away. Normal processing of RAW image files and minor adjustments to color and contrast are acceptable, as is minimal
cropping.
