Countryfile Photographic Competition 2013
The title for the BBC Countryfile Photographic Competition 2013 is “Our Living Landscape”.
The theme is open to individual interpretation but entries must have the countryside or the natural world at their heart. You might choose to photograph British wildlife, plant life (anything from trees to fungi) or just take beautiful shots of British scenery (anywhere that is natural or rural – from the coast to the mountains). Photographs of farm life, including farm animals will be accepted.
However, photos of domestic animals (ie pets), zoo animals and cultivated plants are not eligible. Images of British wildlife in captivity must be declared as such. The BBC’s decision as to the eligibility of individual photographs will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Countryfile is aware that digital photography does allow for some image enhancement. You can enter images that have had spots, scratches or other blemishes removed. You can have worked on the colour or enhance the image for the sake of the composition. You can also crop the image to improve composition.
We will not accept composite images – entries that stitch two or more separate photographs together to make one image, or entries that superimpose elements photographed separately onto an image.
We want you to stay faithful to the spirit of the competition, and never deceive the viewer or misrepresent the aspect of nature being portrayed.
The overall winner will be voted for by Countryfile viewers. The judges will also choose their favourite entry. You can enter up to four photos in total.
