It is especially important that all photographs entered into competitions be the exclusive work of the maker (except for commercially made prints or digital photographs scanned from a slide original allowed by the rules). Highlights:
- All aspects of the image must be taken by the photographer (Clipart, Textures, etc. are NOT permitted).
- Images of a similar nature may not be submitted again once that image has won a ribbon.
- The winning same image (or a very similar rendition taken at the same time) may not be submitted into a different competition or in a different season.
- Please note that there are NO makeups
- Please note that there no way to email images late if you have problems, so we urge you please do NOT to wait until the last minute to submit your photographs.
- Setups (images where someone else set up the composition, or you "plug inot" lighting at a conference or workshop) are ONLY allowed in Class B
- We compete images in the following categories once a month (typically the 4th Monday of the month). Please see our handbook which contains the rules and instructions for competing your images.

At the end of the competition year the highest 6 - 12 scores of each maker (depending on the category) are summed to determine the cumulative score.
