An entry must not bear any name and free from any identifying marks of the photographer/owner on the image/picture area to avoid any hint of bias during judging.

While “nudity” is an art, entries must not, however, show sexual or reproductive organ of the subject, human or animal. Any image that shows sexual act or even suggests an indecent act or pose, offensive to moral standards, is not eligible and therefore disqualified as an entry.

Every category must have at least a minimum of ten (10) entries in order to be declared a valid contest.
