The maximum is 5 per contestant, one in each category. A person may enter just one picture or any number up to five. No more then 1 picture per category.

instead of seascapes i would replace it with busy city life shots for example

Good suggestion. That needs to be a seperate category, so we now have 6 categories.

Landscapes
Seascapes
Close ups
Nature
Plants and Flowers
City Scenes

Of course it is. You may find this hard to believe, but one of our purposes is to promote Islam.

Discriminating yes, unfair? No, as all members can enter. An entry may not necessarily be Islamic but in some categories and with an appropriate title the entry can still promote Islam.

For example an atheist could enter a fantastic Sunset and title it something like:

The wonder of the universe.

We as Muslims would see that as promoting Islam by showing the beauty of creation, while a non-Muslim would see it as something else.

It is the work that will be judged, not the photographer.

No, a person can enter all categories, but only one picture per category.

Landscapes
Seascapes
Close ups
Nature
Plants and Flowers

Each contestant is permitted to enter no more then one picture in each category. A picture may be entered in only one category, so choose your category wisely for your entry. The winners will be best in category and a grand winner of best in show.

Judging will be based on:

Relevance to Islam
choice of subject
Appropriateness of Title
Composition


Please add your suggestions for what you believe should be included in the Rules.

You can enter one picture per category.

You might choose to only enter one category, so in that case, you would enter one picture.

If you choose to enter more than one category, you can enter one picture in each of the additional categories.

There will be many questions before the contest begins.

At the moment there are only a few musts to enter.

1. You must enter at least one picture in a category of your choice

2. You must have a title for your entry

Correct, you said it better then I did.

Isnt Nature the same as Plants , flowers and land- and seascapes ?

I think the minimum number of pictures entered should be 3 (for 3 different catagories) since I quite like the idea of J.U.N.I.O.R of rating each picture and then giving an average score.

It depends on the viewpoint of the photographer. If my wife were to enter she would enter a picture horses and simply label it "Horses in the evening" and enter it under Nature. While I would take the same picture and title it "South Dakota Morning" and enter it as a landscape.

Great idea! I'm up for this one.
