  • Images may consist of several layers, but each non-adjustment layer must contain only images originally captured by the entrant using a camera of some kind.  Textures and overlays purchased or obtained online are thus specifically not allowed.
  • Electronically generated patterns (e.g., fractals and commercially purchased “textures”) are not permitted.  This includes “textures” created by such software as Nik Analog Efex “Dirt and Scratches”.
  • Images may be modified by the entrant using editing software, including the use of presets and styles.
  • Any modification of the image must be made by the entrant.
  • An image may be entered into only one category:

For the avoidance of doubt, images by the same author that differ only slightly from one another, or differ only by computer treatment (e.g. colour vs. monochrome), or variations of a crop (where the point of interest is the same) will be regarded for these terms and conditions as being the same image.

  • The organiser & Judges reserve the right to disqualify any entry it deems unsuitable to the nature of the Salon.
  1. FEES
  • Entry is FREE.
  • If you would like judge’s feedback on an image that has been entered, the fee is $5 per image.
  • Payment for feedback must be made prior to the close of the competition and by PayPal (or credit card via PayPal) before the feedback requirement is accepted.  If you cannot pay by PayPal, you must contact the organiser at karen@karenmcleodphotography.com for special exemption and to make other arrangements.
