Details & Requirements
Description of the Theme
Bangladesh is home to a diverse and beautiful natural environment. From rivers, forests, and
green villages to urban landscapes, wildlife, and changing seasons, the environment tells
countless stories of life and nature. This theme encourages photographers to capture the beauty,
diversity, challenges, and everyday relationship between people and the environment of
Bangladesh through their lens.
Contest Guidelines
● Photographs must capture the beauty, diversity, challenges and essence of the
environment of Bangladesh.
● Photographs may be taken using any camera/mobile device.
● Basic photographic adjustments such as exposure, contrast, white balance, cropping,
color correction, sharpening, and conversion to black and white are permitted.
● Manipulation that substantially changes the documentary content of the photograph,
including adding, removing, replacing, or generating significant visual elements, is not
permitted.
● Watermarks, signatures, logos, borders, or identifying marks should not appear on
submitted photographs.
● AI-generated images are not eligible. Images created wholly or substantially using
generative artificial intelligence will be disqualified.
● Photographs may be submitted in color or monochrome.
● Participants must submit original photographs, not more than three, taken by themselves.
● Each image must be more than 5 MB in size. And submit the photographs in JPEG/JPG
format.
● Avoid submitting photographs with sensitive, offensive, or inappropriate content.
● The photograph must have been captured within two years prior to the submission
deadline. Previously awarded photographs are not eligible.
● Shortlisted participants and winners may be asked to submit the original, unedited camera
file for verification.

September 28-29, 2026, where our judges will discuss the photographs and announce the top
