Requirements for Royal Entomological Society Photography Competition 2023
Photographic Specifications
-
Insects (or groups of insects) should be present in photographs entered into the competition when they are present naturally in the scene being captured. The subject may be an insect from any part of the world and may be in any life stage, including egg, nymph, larva, pupa, or adult.
-
Other invertebrate images, such as spiders, woodlice, and snails, are not acceptable (unless they are part of a composition that largely consists of insects).
-
Submissions will be disregarded if, in the judges’ reasonable judgement, it appears that the entrant damaged the welfare of the insect(s) or their habitats or that the image was otherwise taken irresponsibly.
-
Borders, signatures, and watermarks are not permitted in images.
-
Images in black and white may be submitted.
-
Digital alterations are permitted as long as they preserve the integrity of the image. It is not allowed to alter the image physically in any significant ways. For instance, contestants are not permitted to add or remove any items, plants, people, animals, or landscapes from their image.
How to Apply
-
A participant may enter up to three times. The RES may exclude an applicant from the Competition if it determines that the applicant has entered more images than allowed through one account, several accounts, or some other method.
-
Using the Insect Week website, photos must be uploaded as jpg, jpeg, or png files. Image entry file sizes cannot exceed 10MB. The RES suggests that participants choose to upload the greatest file they can within that restriction.
-
The online submission form’s required fields, shown by an asterisk (*), must all be filled out. Those that place first and second may be requested to change a caption if it seems to be incorrect. If the judges determine that the entries do not meet the required standard or that the contact information supplied on the entry form is unreliable or no longer valid, the RES has the right to refuse to award a prize.
