Reminder!
Because the annual print competition (dates and deadlines below) has three cross-category awards, i.e., Best Portrait of a Child, Best Portrait of a Pet, and Best Nature Image, we have added those subcategories to the category list *just* for the annual print competition in printcompetition.com.
In the Portrait Category:
• If your photo is of a child, you will enter Photographic Open —> Portrait —> Child.
• If your photo is of a pet, you will enter Photographic Open —> Portrait —> Pet.
• If your photo is not of a child or a pet and is in the Portrait Category, e.g., a family, it should be entered in Portrait —> General.
In the Illustrative Category:
• If your photo is of nature or a landscape, e.g., a flower, a sunrise, wildlife, you will enter Illustrative —> Nature/Landscape.
• If your photo is not of nature or a landscape, e.g., architecture, you will enter Illustrative —> General.
Images entered into those subcategories will still be considered for the higher level category awards for which they qualify, e.g., Portrait of the Year, Illustrative Image of the Year.
