Images Due August 10, 2025, by 9 PM. (Note: Deadline moved up from Midnight)

The most important part of a Nature image is the nature telling a STORY.

Nature editing guidelines:
  1. Zoo animals are included as part of the Nature category which allows captive animals.
    Feral animals such as mustang horses and razorback hogs are not eligible under PSA Nature definitions; nor are domesticated farm animals and pets.
  2. Removing, adding to, moving, or changing any part of an image is not allowed.
  3. Evidence of the “hand of man” is not permitted EXCEPT for example, devices as banding or radio collars, and man-made materials in nests.
  4. Cropping and straightening ARE permitted.
  5. Global and targeted adjustments such as adjusting white balance, contrast, hue, saturation, etc. ARE permitted.
  6. Removal of sensor dust spots, noise, chromatic aberrations, halos ARE permitted.
  7. Vignettes applied in post processing are NOT permitted.
  8. Blurring and darkening to hide elements is NOT permitted.
  9. This is nature so your image must appear natural.
