Photo Competition Rules
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 4:10 am
Any image entered in the competition sections should be as it was taken and NOT altered by image manipulating software.
The one exception is the "Modified" category that is especially for images that have been altered using Photoshop or other such editing program.
Some confusion exists over altered images being artistic and belonging in the Arty category. The "Arty" category is for photos taken in an artistic manner or with artistic content but without modification of the original photographic image.
Incorrectly entered photos will not be included in the final voting. Anyone that wishes an incorrectly entered photo to be moved should request a Moderator to do so.
I hope this clears up the issue of photos being entered in the wrong section.

PS If we allow images that have been enhanced or modified to be entered in every section then it comes down to who is the best graphic artist not who took the best picture.
