Copyrights & Usage Rights:
Images submitted must adhere to the following conditions.
All images should be a faithful representation of the original scene. No composite images will be allowed. Post-production adjustments can be used but excessive use will count against the image’s overall standing with the judges. The judges may request the original image for review in some cases before confirming their judgement.
No image which has previously won a national or international competition at any time prior to the commencement of this competition will be considered and therefore excluded with the prize forfeited if it is chosen as a winning image and later found to be in contravention of this rule.
The judges reserve the right to refuse photos that they deem unsuitable for whatever reason they see fit.
The image must be the sole property of the submitter and have no third-party publishing rights/restriction attached to them. The image must have bene taken by the submitter.
All images must be submitted as jpeg or png files without a watermark. The judging process is conducted blindly so all watermarked images must be rejected as they give away the identity of the photographer. Once the winners have been decided upon for each category Pangolin Photo Safaris will delete all the entered images and not store them on their servers or cloud-based storage.
The owners of the winning, runner up and People’s Choice images grant permission for their work to be displayed on the Pangolin Photo Safaris website and social media channels with appropriate credits for the purposes of promoting the competition.
