Photo Guidelines:

Entries must be photographs, and not visual/graphic art manipulations. You must not excessively alter or change your photograph using photo editing software. Minor adjustments, including spotting, dodging and burning, sharpening, contrast and slight color adjustment, or the digital equivalents are acceptable. Photos must be in digital format. No print or film submissions will be accepted. You don’t need to take the photograph with a digital camera; we’ll accept scans of negatives, transparencies, or photographic prints. You must be able to provide GSA with an original photo file if you win.
