  • Special notes  when  natural  history is a specific theme  in a monthly competition or the Annual Exhibition.

 

  • Images and prints in this section must depict subjects in which the influence of man is of little  importance or absent altogether. Thus, cultivated or domestic subjects are to be excluded. Images may be of animals, insects, plants, weather or geology of the land, sea or sky. Preference should  be given to subjects in their natural surroundings or environments.
