Categories

The competition has eight categories:

Prints
Open Colour  
Monochrome  
The Human Element Images of people, a person or part of a person, but it needs to show an aspect of their humanity or impact, not just their form
Aged A broad topic, which includes anyone or anything old, or having existed for a long time. To successfully show the subject it must be seen that time has made its mark

 

Digital
Open Colour  
Monochrome  
Modern This is about current trends and styles expressed every day in places, objects and people. It is about the "look".
Power There are as many concepts of power as there are photographers. Power can be seen in people, symbols, and attitudes and in physical forms, but the message must be obvious.

Prizes

  • There is a distinguished Gold Medal for the winners of each category
  • The Progear Judges choice Trophy for the best overall image.
  • The Progear Judges choice Trophy for the best overall image.
