How much image editing do you allow?
We know that photos need some tweaking. Rule 5, says that you can use edit your photos, such as touching up a portrait, building a panorama or creating an HDR image from lots of exposures. Adding or removing major parts of a photo is not what this competition is about. If your photo is shortlisted we may ask for your original files for our judges to look at so be sure to keep them until 14th September 2010, when the competition closes for entries.
How big should my photographs be for upload?
The photos you upload must have a file size under 2MB (megabytes), and be in JPEG (also known as JPG) format. You should keep the originals of your photo as we may need to see them when we shortlist photographs. If you don't know how to resize your images, we have a guide you can follow here. We want to know as much about your photo as possible when you enter so please ensure you fill in your photo name, description (what we're looking at and how you got the shot), and camera details in the information boxes during submission. If you can't fill in all the boxes don't worry, there is a link to 'Edit photo details' on your photo's web page.
Do I keep the copyright of my images?
Yes, of course, we would never claim copyright of YOUR photographs. Please make sure you read the Rules to understand how your images will be reproduced.
