Summary:
Take a view’ is an annual photographic competition open to everyone except those involved in its organization. The organizers of the competition are Lightworx Ltd t/a Take a view. Entries must have been taken in the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. Entries must have been taken within the five years immediately prior to the closing date. Images that have won an award in a nationally promoted competition (including Take a view 2007), or that have been entered in such a competition where the results are still pending, are not eligible for entry. All entries must be submitted digitally (scans from film are acceptable) and must be uploaded via www.take-a-view.co.uk. No entries will be accepted by mail. There are 4 categories: Classic view, Living the view, Your view, Phone view. A maximum total of 15 images per entrant may be submitted across these categories. Entrants may submit the same image into more than one category, but each category entry counts as a separate image upload. Images from digital cameras can be submitted to Classic view, Living the view and/or Your view and must have been taken using a camera with a sufficiently high resolution to allow the image to be reproduced at A4 size or above (at 300 ppi). We recommend that you use a camera of 4 mega pixels or more. Please ensure that your camera is on its highest-quality setting. Images that have been scanned from transparencies or negatives are eligible for Classic view, Living the view and Your view. The high-resolution scan that will be required for short-listed images should be a minimum of 30mb as an uncompressed tiff file, although a high-quality jpeg is acceptable. (8 bit, Adobe RGB 1998 colour space). Images submitted for entry in Phone view must have been taken with a camera phone of 1 mega pixel or more. Digital adjustments, including High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging techniques, are allowed. The integrity of the image must be maintained and the making of physical changes to the landscape is not permitted (removing fences, moving trees, stripping in sky from another image etc). The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any image that they feel lacks authenticity due to over-manipulation.
