Photography Awards

Entries can be transparencies, prints (8" x 10") or digital files in raw format. For prints, negatives might need to be submitted at a later stage. Digital photographs should be submitted on CD or DVD and clearly labelled with the photographer's name, postal and email address and telephone number.

Images should be colour corrected before sending them in. Also, these need to be submitted as Windows PC compatible JPEG at highest compression quality (setting 12 in Adobe Photoshop) files. Only images from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Bangladesh will be eligible.

Finally, all photographs must be in colour, accompanied by detailed captions indicating location, season and brief description of the subject. Please note that failure to provide these could make the entry ineligible for selection.
