  whatever. Works will be adjudicated on composition, effective use of
  lighting, emotional impact and general photographic quality as
determined
  by our judges.
Places - We want to see your grandest mountain vistas, your moodiest urban
  landscapes. Works will be adjudicated on composition, effective use of
  lighting, emotional impact and general photographic quality as
determined
  by our judges.
Small Wonders - Flowers, butterflies, thumbtacks or your thumb. Take a
little
  time to send us a little gem. Photomicrographs of vitamin C or pinholes
of
  pebbles. If it's bigger than a breadbox, it's too big for this category.
  Works will be adjudicated on composition, effective use of lighting,
  emotional impact and general photographic quality as determined by our
  judges.
Digitally Altered Photos - Go crazy with this one, or use some subtle
pixel
  filters. Either way, amaze us with your light fantastic. Images will be
  adjudicated on their "wow" factor by our judges. If appropriate, submit
a
  copy of the image before the digital touch-ups are made.
Humour - Humour says it all. Photos will be judged on their ability to
crack
  up the judges.
