Photographs may be printed from film or digital sources and may be cropped from the original image.

What happens then? ? Judges will be recruited from outside the village and will be neutral third parties who have significant experience in photography. They will consider visual impact, composition, and image quality in selecting the winners. The judges' decisions will be final. ? Winners will be asked to submit digital images or negatives that can be scanned so the winning images can be displayed on the Pucklechurch Community Website, enlarged for display at the Revel Photography Exhibition, and/or printed as postcards. ? Images must be the photographer's own work. Entrants retain their own copyright on the images.

What are the prizes? ? Prizes are yet to be finalised, but are likely to include vouchers for the top prize in each category and ribbons for all winners. ?
