Exporing the Theme
Categories
Participants may submit up to two entries in each of the two categories:
- Traditional Photography– refers to the practice of capturing images by exposing light-sensitive film or digital sensor directly to the scene being photographed. It involves composing a single image in-camera, without post-processing or manipulation. Traditional photography aims to depict a scene or subject as faithfully as possible, relying on natural lighting and minimal alterations.
- Composite Photography – involves combining multiple images or elements to create a final composite image. It allows photographers to merge various elements, such as different photographs, backgrounds, textures, or objects, to produce a new and often more elaborate composition. With image editing software, photographers can blend, layer, and manipulate the different elements to create a cohesive and imaginative final image that may not exist in reality.
How to Enter
Participants may enter up to two images. Photographs may be entered in only one category. Entries will be accepted through 15 November 2023 via https://forcesupport.awardsplatform.com/ Photographs must be submitted as high-quality JBP/JPEG or PNG files, and must be 300 dpi when saved at approximately 8.5″ x 11″ (3600 px minimum required).
