• Ensure that you have the consent of the people in the picture, especially if the focus is on a single person.
• You can make simple edits to the photo but these need to be specified in the submission form.

Don’ts

• Don’t put watermarks, signature or any overlays on your picture.
• Don’t send pictures that are not related to any of the thematic areas.
