I Love this Place Because.... 2008 Photo Competition
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ENTRY
- Entry into the competition will be deemed acceptance of the terms and conditions.
- Entry is open to amateur and professional photographers who are residents of Australia.
- There is a limit of four entries per person. Should you submit more than four entries, we reserve the right to accept only the first four submitted and remove from consideration additional photos uploaded by a single entrant.
- Limited photographic manipulation is allowed, but entrants should not significantly alter the image (e.g. splice images together, add text). We recommend entrants do as little photographic manipulation as possible. Try to limit your adjustments to colour and brightness correction, cropping, dodging and burning, and let the photo speak for itself, and through your 100 words or less completing the sentence “I love this place because…”. The theme for the competition is “I love this place”, which implies that you love the place as it is, not after you have added other elements to it, and that you want to show everybody else what’s interesting about it. Please keep in mind that your 100 words or less is where you can add an extra dimension of richness and storytelling to your image. The image and text will be considered together.
