Color and Black and White Categories: This is traditional photography. The image has conventional post-processing techniques that enhance the image appearance without changing the pictorial content. Cropping, sharpening, and removal of obtrusive artifacts such as dust specks are normal. The Black and White category include monochromatic and sepia tones.
Non-Traditional Photography
Digitally Enhanced: Edits and/or effects that changes an image’s appearance from being a traditional photograph may be categorized as Digitally Enhanced.
Vintage and Alternative Printing Processes, include alternative-printing processes — the photogram, daguerreotype, tintype, collodion, Mordançage, etc.
Pinhole/Plastic Camera Imagery: This category includes analog photography, e.g. pinhole cameras and plastic cameras like the Holga, Diana, and Lomo. The supposed “defects” of these cameras — light leaks, soft focus, vignetting, diffraction.
* Judges have the final determination of which category is appropriate.
