We run a competition every month and the winner from each month, within each category (a total of 2 from the two categories at present) will qualify for the annual competition. Images submitted up to the end of every month will be considered for that months contest.

Categories:
The contest has two categories; there will be three winners announced in the monthly contest and five winners announced in the annual contest across each category.

Nature :
The sub-categories include wildlife, landscape and macro. In nature photography, we are seeking images taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements. From intimate animal portraits to sublime landscapes, innovative techniques to capturing ‘soul satisfying’ moments… go on give wings to your imagination and show us nature as you see it.

Travel :
The sub-categories include people (not portraits), culture, customs, buildings and monuments. In this category we are seeking images involving the documentation of people, culture, customs and history of a location. We want to see a place as you see it. In addition to the above two categories, we will also run theme based competitions. Look out for them in future.
