SUMMARY:CAPA Nature/Wildlife 2025 Competition Image Due Sept. 23\, 2025
DESCRIPTION: This year we will be participating in four CAPA (Canadian Association of Photographic Art) Competitions as a club.  \nFor the first competition this fall\, the CAPA board has selected the Nature/Wildlife Theme competition.  Our club will select six images\, which must be from different photographers\, to represent the club. \nPlease submit one digital image for consideration in the CAPA Nature Competition. \nSee CAPA Competitions under the Competitions menu tab for a brief description of the image themes\, image standards\, and file naming conventions. \nMore precisely\, CAPA specifies: \n\n\nBotanical – ONLY wild plants photographed in their natural environment are permitted in this theme such as: flowers\, scrubs\, bushes\, trees\, fungi and algae.  Human created hybrid plants or “cultivated plants” are not permitted.Cultivated plants are ones that are planted and maintained by humans as opposed to emerging naturally in the environment.  Wild flowers or plants grown in a botanical garden are accepted in this theme. In cases where a plant species is known to occur in the wild and has been cultivated by humans\, the judging panel will give the image the “benefit-of-the-doubt” and accept the image as meeting the definition of this theme. “Hand-of-man” elements shall not be present\, except where those human elements are integral part of the nature story\, and should not exceed 10% of the image space. (The 10% image space area will be used as guide by the judges and is not a factor for disqualification.)\n\n\n\n\nInsects\, Reptiles & Amphibians – such as: alligators\, ants\, bees\, beetles\, butterflies\, crickets\, crocodiles\, dragonflies\, frogs\, gecko\, hornets\, iguana\, lizard\, mantis\, mosquitoes\, snakes\, turtles\, wasps\, etc… “Hand-of-man” elements shall not be present\, except where those human elements are integral part of the nature story\, and should not exceed 10% of the image space. (The 10% image space area will be used as guide by the judges and is not a factor for disqualification.)\nLandscape – subjects such as weather phenomena\, geological formations\, landscapes\, seascapes and natural phenomena\, planets\, stars and astronomical events. “Hand-of-man” elements shall not be present.\nNature – such as living animals (including arthropods\, spiders and crustaceans)\, birds and marine subjects\, which are living under the unobvious control and feeding of humans in situations such as zoos\, game farms\, animal reserves\, and/or aquariums\, etc. No domestic or feral animals/birds are permitted in this theme. Domestic and feral animals include\, but are not limited to camels\, cats\, chickens\, dogs\, donkeys\, goats\, horses\, rabbits\, pigs\, rock doves\, sheep\, starlings\, and water buffalo.\n“Hand-of-man” elements shall not be present in the Nature theme\, except where those human elements are integral part of the nature story\, and should not exceed 10% of the image space. (The 10% image space area will be used as guide by the judges and is not a factor for disqualification.)\nWildlife –This theme is restricted to living and untamed wildlife mammals\, birds and marine subjects ONLY. Wildlife subjects for this theme must be living free and cannot be living in traditional zoos\, open-range zoos\, game farms or other areas where they are under the care of man\, restrained and/or confined.For this theme\, nature parks are considered natural environments because the animals are not in “controlled conditions“. Wild animals and birds with scientific bands\, tags or radio collars\, are permitted in this theme\, but those with tethers or harness attachments are not permitted.\nNo domestic or feral animals/birds are permitted in this theme. Domestic and feral animals include\, but are not limited to camels\, cats\, chickens\, dogs\, donkeys\, goats\, horses\, rabbits\, pigs\, rock doves\, sheep\, starlings\, and water buffalo. No hand-of-man is permitted in the Wildlife theme.Wildlife images can also be entered into the Nature theme.\n\nCAPA defined Hand-of-Man – This should be portrayed as a scene that is completely free of any human elements.  The following examples provide instances that align with the hand-of-man definition: \n\nHuman – no human body or any portion thereof should be visible in the image.\nSky – no human-made elements such as cables\, aircraft\, light pollution\, artificial lights\, etc.\nLand – any man-made structures\, paths\, buildings\, concrete\, man-made stone\, telephone poles\, fence posts\, sidewalks\, domesticated or cultivated plants/food\, cut grass\, or organized and systematic layouts of planted trees should be absent from the image.\nElements – no cut trees\, stems\, branches\, tree stumps\, posts\, man-made food\, objects\, or any man-made background should be included.\nSea – no boats\, ships piers\, docks\, posts in the water\, or any human-made elements should be visible in the image.\n\n\nSubmit images online Here
