Categories

Image submissions can be entered in each of the 3 categories.

Traditional (Colour)

Black and White / Monochrome

Altered Reality

Manipulate your own photographs to create surreal, abstract, impressionistic, or unrealistic images.  Experiment with either in-camera or post processing software using special effects, montages, collages, composites, heavy HDR, or any other technique. There is no limit to what you can do! Be creative, but at the same time try to make your image look less like it might belong in the Traditional category. If you think in terms of “artistic” – that’s the image we’re looking for. Think “digital manipulation – creating art” for this category.
