JUDGING METHOD

Judging will be conducted online where the judges will be required to use colour-calibrated monitors that can display pixel dimensions of 1920 x 1080 of the image resolution. Where the image presented is lower than the maximum resolution the images will not be enlarged beyond their native resolution. At no stage will a judge be able to view all the entrant’s images together. Each judge will score each image using a range of 1–9 where the higher score signifies a higher quality image. The total of these scores will be used to determine an acceptance percentage. Acceptance rates will not exceed FIAP, GPU, and APS requirements.
