You can submit any images of nature to this category. The image should be one file produced by the camera, for example, HDR, focus stacking, multiple exposure, or an image produced by intentional camera movement. The image can also be taken without the use of special techniques – an insightful, well executed image. The jury will focus on open-minded vision, impressions the image conveys, creative approach, and visual aesthetics. Digitally manipulated images are not eligible.
Entries to the competition can only be submitted in digital format online. A maximum of five (5) entries can be submitted to this category.
The winners will be selected by a jury comprised of Jonna Kalliomäki (Chair), Paavo Hamunen, Mika Honkalinna, and Terhi Tuovinen (rotating jury member).
In this category, prizes will be awarded to the best five images. The first prize is 1,500 euros. The organizer will pay the statutory tax on the prize.
