Photo Contest Category Breakdowns

Category X (Mythology/Folklore)
Any photo with Mythology or Folklore as its subject. Inspiration can be drawn from any form of folklore and any myth. These can include specific stories or scenes or be an entirely original interpretation.

Portraiture
A photo with one or many persons as its subject. This must represent the subject in some way, personalities or specific aspects of a single person’s character, or dynamics between multiple people.

Black & White
A photo without color. Must make good use of contrast, a range of gradients, and depth. A clear image that can easily convey the subject is optimal. Can also include sepia, but not other forms of monochromatic photography.

Wildlife
A photo with some form of wildlife and its habitat as the subject. Must clearly depict a wild animal, and though many are found in nature, these can be shown if found in a more urban setting.

Landscape
A photo featuring elements such as buildings or natural formations. Must make effective use of the elements within the frame for creating interesting compositions.

Sports/Action
A photo that represents a particular sport, or that captures an action. Can be of any sports so long as it adheres to WCSD policy and must clearly depict the action taken.

Still Life
A photo showing a collection of inanimate objects arranged in an interesting composition. A good image of this kind draws the eye around the composition.

Photo Composite
An image created by two or more photos. Composites are images that combine 2 or more photographs/parts of photographs into a new, single composition. These can contrast or complement and feature any subject. Any images used in the composite must be photographs and have been taken by the person submitting the image.

Astrophotography
A photo showing celestial objects or phenomena. These include stars, planets, comets & asteroids, or auroras. The image submitted must depict the subject clearly.

Miniature Scenes
A photo using scale models or miniatures to create a scene. These can either replicate a life-size scene using the miniatures or can emphasize the difference in the size of elements for contrast.

Selective Coloring
A black and white photo accented by a colored element. This usually takes the form of a specific element retaining its color, though can also leave any part of the image with a particular color to contrast with the remaining black and white.
