Rules and definitions

  • Each photographer can participate with up to two (2) collections/series of 3–5 images each.
  • Regardless of how many images a collection contains, only one single image file showing the entire collection should be uploaded—not the individual pictures. Our contest system cannot handle multiple image files as one submission.
  • By submitting images to the competition, the photographer accepts that the organiser can use the images to promote this and upcoming competitions.
  • The jury or the competition committee may reject a collection/series if the pictures do not follow the competition rules or are otherwise considered deviating.
  • 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.

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.

Offenders will be sanctioned for life!
