Submission Requirements:

• Use the Form to Submit your Photos

• Post-processing – The goal of the contest is to showcase your camera skills, not editing skills. Here are some guidelines for what is allowed and not allowed in post-processing:

  • Please submit photos that are un-manipulated. Photos should not be altered via Photoshop or other image altering programs.

  • Please do not digitally enhance or alter photos. If you have digitally added or removed anything to the photo, please do not submit it.

  • Dodging & Burning – Dodging (to brighten shadows) or burning (to darken highlights) is acceptable within reason. Your goal in using digital darkroom techniques should be to adjust the dynamic tonal range of an image so that it more closely resembles what you saw.

  • Color Saturation – Color saturation is acceptable within reason. Please avoid significant over or under saturation.

  • Solarization, mezzotint, duotone, etc. – These types of alteration ‘filters’ are highly discouraged. Please avoid using them.

  • Black and white photos are acceptable.

  • Cropping is acceptable

  • Stitched panoramas are NOT acceptable

  • High dynamic range (HDR) photos are NOT acceptable

• All photos must be original work and available for public display. The CAH Review committee reserves the right to screen entries for content and post-processing.

• All rights to submissions are assumed by The CAH; By submitting an entry, you give permission to The CAH committee to reproduce the images for display or offer for printing purchasing without compensation as fundraising opportunities to support our mission.
