• A personal statement (in English) must also be submitted together with the images explaining the context/theme of the submitted portfolio. The statement should be a maximum of a 100 words.
The college/university course leader will select the highest achieving final year students on their course to enter for the award. The maximum number of portfolios which can be sent by each Institute is 10. The college/university course leader will also validate and verify each student’s submission of images.
This competition is an excellent opportunity for the students to test their skills against others from different countries.
Judging will take place online by 3 international judges, chaired by a non-voting chairman. To ensure impartiality each portfolio be given a score out of a 100 by each judge (as a panel of photographs not for individual images). This score will then determine the top portfolios, winner and any merits. The chairman can invite the judges to re-assess a portfolio in any case of striking differences in scoring.
