- 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). Please send only original slides or very good copies. Scans of slides are allowed, but please bear in mind that an excellent technical quality (focus, exposure) is an essential requirement for prize-winning images. 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).
- The titles of digital picture files must contain the photographer’s name and the name and number (1- 5) of the picture (e.g. MaxMueller_Brownbear_C_Croatia_1.jpg). Pictures of animals or plants taken in controlled conditions (zoo, pen, botanical gardens, studio or similar) must be identified by a “C” (for captive) on the slide frame or in the file name and contain corresponding information in the list of pictures.
Selection Criteria
- A jury of experts of EuroNatur, “natur”, GELSENWASSER AG and the photo shop LichtBlick in Constance will then select the most impressive images of European nature.
- The best photographs will be featured in their 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.
