Photography Categories
Photography will receive a $1000 major prize and a $500 runner-up prize in each section.
Illustrative
The Illustrative category aims to recognise photographs taken or produced to illustrate a subject or topic which has been digitally manipulated. The images may be conceptual or representative in nature. Examples include images taken to illustrate a magazine article, scientific publication, website or book cover, but may also be outtakes from assignments, stock photography or part of a personal project. Creative compositing techniques may be used.
Places
This category is intended for landscape images that depict the natural or urban environment. Entries may be literal or interpretative.
People
Portraiture photography is broadly defined and can include family, corporate, travel, creative and interpretive portraits. Entries in the Portrait Category will be judged broadly, based on content, impact and professional quality.
Animals and Nature
This category is intended for photographs of all flora and fauna.
