Themed Photo

Rules

1. Theme - "Wildlife"

   This year's theme is "Wildlife".

2. Hand-in

   Entries in this competition must be delivered through the web-based compo system as a Zip or RAR archive containing the following items:

   • The picture in 16:9 format, preferably and at least 1280*720 pixels. This is to ensure that the entry won't need scaling when shown on the bigscreen. This also means you should not submit an entry in portrait orientation.
   • A text file containing contact information, and information about the photo (such as where it's taken, or other things the jury should know)

3. Allowed formats

   • PNG (.png)
   • JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg)

4. Formal requirements

   • You are allowed to stage your motive before taking the photo.
   • Your photo should be taken specifically for this compo.
   • Minor retouching (color/white balance, cropping and similar) in photo editing software is allowed, but keep it real. This is a photo compo, not a photo manipulation compo.

5. Originality

   You must have taken the photo yourself. Participation with photos taken by anyone else is not permitted, even with permission from the photographer.

6. Voting

   A maximum of 20 entries will be shown in this compo. The winner will be determined by popular vote only.
