LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2024

Your image should be of the natural or built environment.

POST PRODUCTION: Image must be single capture. Composite images are not allowed, with the following exceptions: stitched panoramas, focus stacks and HDR images. (In these cases, images must be captured at the exact same location and camera perspective within a 12-hour time period.) Image may be processed in post-production to adjust standard photographic variables such as cropping, noise, sharpness, colour, tone and contrast, including dodging and burning and black-and-white conversions. Lens and perspective corrections and minor cloning to remove dust spots and distractions are allowed. Competition organisers reserve the right to request original image files or to disqualify an image if they feel it lacks authenticity due to over-manipulation.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: As with all categories, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – including the use of image creation software (such as MidJourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, etc) and AI replacement tools (such as Photoshop's Generative Fill) – is not permitted.
