Can I submit the same photo to multiple categories?
Yes, you can submit the same photo to multiple categories. However, each category requires a separate entry fee.

Can I mail my photos for submission?
No, you do not need to send physical copies of your photos. Digital images and descriptions are sufficient for submission.

Do I still own the copyright to my images?
Yes. The copyright and all other rights remain with the photographer. Any photo used by Best Photography Awards UK will always include proper credit to the photographer.

All participants acknowledge and agree that Best Photography Awards UK and its media partners may use submitted images for marketing and promotional purposes directly related to the competition, including exhibitions, print, and digital media.

I have a digitally edited photo. Does it qualify as Fine Art Photography?
Fine Art Photography focuses on the artist's vision and creative expression, using photography as a medium to convey emotions, ideas, or unique perspectives. It emphasizes composition, subject matter, and the photographer’s ability to capture a moment or concept. Digital processing is generally minimal to maintain the integrity of the original photograph. Digitally Enhanced Photography, on the other hand, involves extensive post-processing and digital manipulation. This category celebrates the creative use of digital tools to transform or enhance an image, which may include color alterations, added elements, or compositions that go beyond the original photograph. The focus is on artistic transformation and innovative use of technology to create an altered reality or an enhanced artistic expression.

Therefore, if your image contains significant digital enhancements, it would be more suitable for submission under the Digitally Enhanced Photography category.

Originality & Permissions

By submitting, participants confirm that the images and projects are their original work and do not infringe any copyright laws. Best Photography Awards UK is not liable for any potential copyright disputes arising during the selection process or subsequent exhibitions.

Participants are responsible for securing all necessary permissions and authorizations before submission to ensure their work can be exhibited and used.
