Each file name should include the photographer’s name, category number or title and subject, for example ‘ArjunSingh_Cat1_barbet.jpg’.
Further information about how the image was taken, for instance detailing the equipment used, location, identification should be added to each image’s Properties Summary (Windows) or File Info (Photoshop).

Images may be cropped before submission, and limited digital manipulation such as ‘cleaning’, sharpening, adjusting levels, burning, dodging, curves, colour and contrast is permissible where applied to the image as a whole.
