Prize Information
- 1st Prize: 1,500 EUR
- 2nd Prize: 1,000 EUR
- 3rd Prize: 750 EUR
- 4th Prize: 500 EUR
- 5th Prize: 250 EUR
Benefits
- The best photographs will be featured in the large EuroNatur calendar and awarded money prizes.
- The winners’ photos will also be published in both EuroNatur and „natur” magazines and also on the competition organisers’ websites.
Conditions
- Pictures: No more than five pictures may be entered per entrant/photographer. Entries may be in the form of digital colour pictures (submitted on CD or by email) or all types of non-glass slides (but no prints, no black and white photographs and no panorama formats)
- Minimum resolution for digital pictures: 6 million pixels. Digital pictures must be submitted in two separate files on CD:
- 1st file: “preview”: jpeg of 1200 pixel on the long side
- 2nd file: “high-resolution files”: full-size jpeg of the highest quality (e.g. saved in Adobe Photoshop at quality level 12).
- Digital manipulation: They place a high value on unenhanced records of nature; for this reason, no subsequent modification of a picture or its content is permitted. They allow the standard picture editing processes applied to the picture as a whole (e.g. tonal value, contrast, brightness, colour, saturation, white balance), minimal cleaning of the image (such as removal of lens dust and marks) and cropping, provided these do not alter the subject of the picture. However, cropping pictures too heavily reduces the resolution.
- List of pictures: The entry must include a printed list of the pictures in English or German; in the case of digital pictures these must be listed in a separate document on the CD (as pdf or Excel-file).
- Digital entries submitted: No more than 5 photos per entrant/photographer plus an accompanying list of the pictures may be entered. The required format is JPEG with 1200-pixel picture length (approx. picture size 500 KB – all five pictures may not exceed a total file size of 5 MB).
