October Competition

Like all compelling photos, abstract and altered reality images should have immediate visual impact and sustained visual interest. They should be balanced and cohesive and yet also create a sense of wonder or mystery.

Your entry may be created by one or more of the following methods. See the Rules of Competition page on the CCC website for examples of each.

• Photographing a subject in such a way that it becomes isolated from its context and where shapes, colors, lines, patterns, and textures predominate and provide primary interest. The context becomes unrecognizable and irrelevant.
• Camera movement. (Does not include panning to capture moving objects.)
• The use of software, in which a photograph is altered to the point that it no longer reflects reality. The altered photo and any added components must be the original work of the entrant. Content created by AI programs is not allowed.
