Competition rules are detailed in the competition section of this syllabus and on the website. All prints should be mounted, titled and meet the stated subject. The subject is for you to interpret as you so desire. It is the image that is being judged and not the title, the title even though the title should support the image content. An image should not be made to fit the Subject by the title alone.
