COMMERCIAL CATEGORY

Commercial Category entries are easily described as entries for commercial use.  Images for commercial use are not usually processed with heavy HDR techniques, textures, or painterly effect. They are images that can be used on a company website, a magazine, a travel brochure, textbook for example a cookbook or news publications. AI or CGI are not allowed. Please also read the competition rules.

Please read each class for more details on that class.

FINE ART CATEGORY

Fine Art Photography is photography created in line with the vision of the photographer as an artist, using photography as a medium for creative expression. The goal of fine art photography is to express an idea, a message, or an emotion. There are plenty of classes to enter. This is a very open Category.
