If you work in a representational style, in any photographic medium including both analogue and digital photography, you are eligible to enter the Photography Award.
We appreciate that the line between photography and digital art has become blurred. If your finished artwork has drastic changes made to it digitally from the original photograph taken (for example, you add a new background or other elements, do a lot of digital painting over the image, or do major changes digitally) then please enter your work in the Digital Art Award category. If you only use digital mediums for post processing with minor edits to your image, you are eligible to enter the Photography Award.
