Competition Conditions:

The Image

Capture of the original image, whether on film or digital media, must have been by the contestant. Post capture manipulation by photographic printing or digital means, if any, must be predominantly done by the entrant. Printing may be carried out by any process.

Copyright

Individual photographers retain copyright but the Queen Mary Reserve Trust shall be entitled to use images for publicity and related purposes free of charge. Such uses include display of images at a low resolution on the web and within digital audio visual presentations. (These use small files and the extraction of individual images is not possible.) All reasonable care will be taken to protect individual photographers’ rights and acknowledge their authorship where appropriate.

Format: The competition is open to prints only in a form suitable for display if accepted for exhibition.

Maximum Size: Prints must be suitable to fit within a frame measuring 12 x 8inches (305 x 203 mm). (Photographic paper is still based on Imperial dimensions.)
A4 paper, 297 x 210 mm (11.7 x 8.27 inches) is suitable.
Either “landscape” or “portrait” layout is acceptable.
Panoramic images must fit within the specified dimensions.
Do not mount prints - images chosen for exhibition will be mounted on a suitable backing board if required.

Digital Image File: To obviate the need for scanning for the DVD of successful images it would be helpful if you provided a low resolution digital file with a larger dimension of about 1200 pixels. This may be included on a CD or emailed to QueenMaryReserveTrust@gmail.com

Number of entries: Each entrant may submit up to five entries.

Previous awards: Images previously entered into a photographic competition may not be accepted, at the discretion of the trustees.
