   Judging panel will shortlist 22 awesome photos before final judging. Shortlisted submissions will receive a voucher worth QAR 350 in Qatar 2022 Bid Merchandise, to pick and choose what they want from our e-shop.

Images will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact and artistic merit.

All photographs should accurately reflect the subject matter and the scene as it appeared. Photos that have been digitally altered beyond standard optimization (removal of dust, cropping, reasonable adjustments to exposure, color and contrast, etc.) will be disqualified. Multiple exposures that have been combined to produce a single "High Dynamic Range" image are acceptable. Images that do not meet these requirements may or may not be judged at the judging panel’s sole discretion.
Photo captions must accompany all submissions, and should included the subject of the image, the location the image was taken, and the name of the photographer(s). All photographs will be credited with the caption "© Person’s Name."

To ensure eligibility for the contest, entries must have a resolution of 4 megapixels or greater. Images that do not meet this standard may or may not be judged at the judging panel’s sole discretion.
Entries may originate in any format — including, but not limited to digital files, digital prints, color transparencies, color prints, or black and white prints — so long as they are submitted electronically.
