5. Creative EDPI’s.
This category allows all levels of photoeding and digital manipulation. Multiple images can be used, additions through layers are acceptable and no restrictions in editing are placed on you if you enter in this category.
A total of 2 photos only may be submitted regardless of the categories and all must be submitted on the monthly competition subject.
Members do not have to confine their two images to one category only. They may submit one in one category then the other in another category.
For example if you are a NOVICE Photographer you may elect to submit one photo in Category 1 and the other in Category 2, 3, 4, or 5. That is you can mix them between the five categories if you so desire.
Note carefully however if you are an ADVANCED photographer you can only enter images into the ADVANCED section. These being either 3, 4 or 5.
