Glanzlichter 2006

International Competition
of Nature Photography
How to send and return your entries
Please follow the guidelines in this leaflet, which helps
to increase the chances of each participant, to save
costs and to avoid damage.
How to choose the images:
Do not try to enter pictures similar to those that were
among the winners before. New judges are appointed
every year which have their own judgement and preferences. It is important to consider the following three
aspects that make up the message of an image:
sharpness, light and composition. A creative play with
these elements will emphasise the aesthetic appeal
and originality.
Many photographers do not fully exhaust the maximum number of entries. Show courage and also submit subjects out of the ordinary! Three slides or prints
can be entered in each category!
How to package your entries:
According to our experiences we want to offer you
some useful advice. Hard pasteboard covers are the
safest way to protect your slides. Padded envelopes
are soft and easily damaged.
Please don’t roll up your prints, because it is easier for
the judges to evaluate a flat print than a rolled one.
Fill in your form, admission fee and return postal expenses in an envelope. Wrap your slides and the envelope with a thin padded foil and then put them in a
hard pasteboard cover with your address on it. This
envelope for returning your slides must not be sealed!
Now put this hard cover in a thinner one with our
address and note the way of mail service you prefer
(Air Mail, Registered). Such a well packaged submission is most helpful to the organisers.
Please put your slides in transparent slide-sleeves. The
judges will choose the slides by viewing them with an
eye loupe not by projection. The selected pictures will be
specially protected and kept safe.
Rules of Participation:
Together with the competition rules you have received
several forms. Due to organising reasons it is absolutely
necessary to comply with all items. If not, the entries
will not be admitted, and the admission fee will not be
refunded. To have the entries returned photographers
must enclose the correct amount of International Reply
Coupons or cash to cover the postage costs. The mail
service according to the postage enclosed will be applied
when the entries are returned. If there is no postage
added, the slides will not be returned. After one year
they will be discarded.
Picture list:
Filling in the forms may have been nerve-racking to
some of you. But the data are very important for the
book and must be available before printing starts. Please
help us to give as much information as possible. And
bear in mind: The sponsoring companies like to see their
products being used.
We are looking forward to receiving the new images to
the “Glanzlichter”-competition.
