TIPS:
Interpretations of each category/theme - Just represent each theme as you see it.
Decide if image needs coolour enhancement, or would be better submitted in black and white, or other monotone/duotone.
If you don't have image editing software, try Paint.NET. Its free, and extremely useful.
Do consider hosting images elsewhere (Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa), then link them into your post (saves server memory).
Clean your lens.
Really go for that extra special shot - its going to be very competitive. Try to be original, or at least submit an attention-grabbing image.
If requested to send your image to one of the judges, please commpress if first (Zip file)
