Subject Interpretation.
A definition for each subject is included above where appropriate. For
some subjects there may be a broad interpretation of the definition.
For example, Kid(s) would allow for the obvious definition of human
children, but may also refer to a young goat or the young of other
animals. When using an artistic interpretation of a competition subject
(when no specific definition is provided) your photo should be easily
determined to be "in category" by the judges, or risk receiving a lower
score in competition.
"Creative" Definition.
Creative is a category open to any color or monochrome image. This
category is an "anything goes" division reserved for images that do not depict subject matter as a person would normally see it. The maker may employ any method
to produce the image providing the initial image(s) was captured or
recorded by the maker using a light-sensitive device. Judges are
advised to evaluate images in this division on their artistic merits, not on how the end result was achieved.
