Conditions of entry:

  • The organiser takes no responsibility for copyright abuse.
  • The image files must be in jpg format, with a maximum size of 2 MB and a maximum width of 1920 x 1080 px (width x height).
  • A collection is several images with coherence or mutual context.
  • The author is free to choose a theme for their collection.
  • Both colour and monochrome photos are allowed—even mixed in the same collection.
  • Single images from previously accepted collections can not be reused in a new collection, nor can images from MNFFF silver/gold awarded series.

Deviations from the rules:

Images not meeting the competition rules may be disqualified without a fee refund.

AI and copyright terms:

Pictures created by artificial intelligence are not allowed in this salon. It is reminded that all parts of the image have to be photographed by the author who is holding the copyright of all works submitted.
