Q Should I include anything
else?
A Yes, a completed registration form signed and dated
by the entrant. Download
the PDF version of the registration form here.
Each print must have the following written on the back:
1. Your name, telephone number and
email address
2. The camera equipment used for that shot, lens, shutter
speed, exposure time and aperture (metadata).
Q Can I enter more than one
picture of the same subject but with a different view?
A No.
You must enter four different photographs with four different subjects.
Q Can I enter the same image
into another competition?
A Yes, if they are your own images.
However, should you be successful and take part in the Thailand Photography
trip, any images taken during this trip cannot be used until the Thailand
photography competition has ended.
Q Can I get my images back after
the competition?
A Your first entries will be supplied from
your own prints or prints from transparencies. Therefore there is no
need for us to return these as you will still have the original files/slides.
For the successful entrants who go to Thailand, the Tourism Authority
of Thailand (TAT) will retain ALL digital photography from that trip
as will the individual entrant/photographer.
Digital camera equipment ONLY can be
used on the trip.
Q What images do you not accept?
A Sandwich shots, double exposures, photographs which consist of more
than one image in any way and images that have been manipulated outside
of the rules. The competition office cannot give advice on which images
you should enter.
Q What forms of manipulation
are acceptable and why?
A Our aim is that you achieve a true representation of a natural form,
behaviour or phenomenon. Therefore digital enhancement is only acceptable
if within certain parameters such as cleaning work, levels, curves,
colour, saturation and contrast work. This kind of manipulation is comparable
to traditional film processing techniques.
Q Can I send in scans?
A No, only prints.
Q Can I crop my images?
A Yes, framing is important.
Q Can I enter any format?
A Entries must be prints only - taken within the five years immediately
prior to the closing date.
Q Can I send in black & white prints?
A We have included
b&w to allow photographers to express themselves in this medium
should they wish to do so. We allow prints only.
