Competition Guidelines 2011
Please see below for Guidelines for entering The Master Photography Awards 2011
Overlap Allowed
In past years, the rules have stated that nothing taken before August 1st the previous year was eligible, but the entry date has been around or before this date. To allow entry of images taken in the period before the entry date in the previous year, the permitted time has been extended back to June 1st 2010, a generous two-month overlap so that pictures which were not ready or approved by the client just after being taken can now be entered this year.
Digital-only classes
There is a new class for Wedding Album, which will be judged from your submitted studio shot of the actual album plus a 20-page maximum presentation of the pages (you are allowed to edit from an album with more pages, to submit). JPEG or PDF can be submitted.
2010 Classical Portrait Jo De Banzie
The Bride’s Choice (ten 5 x 4 images on a 20 x 16, laid out) is also now to be sent as a digital file only – the same file you would use to print the 20 x 16.
All other entries require prints – of the best quality.
