For the first PRIZE competition of the year we have a superb pair of ZEISS Victory 8x32 FL binoculars up for grabs as supplied by our sponsor Carl Zeiss Sports Optics.
The photographs will judged by members (1 vote per member) and the
top 20 leading photographs will be submitted to Carl Zeiss where a panel of experts, will judge the winning photograph.
The winning photograph will be published and used by Carl Zeiss. (The photographer retains ownership and copyright.)
By entering, all entrants will agree that Carl Zeiss Sports Optics has exclusive and unlimited use of the winning photograph in all their communications and that Carl Zeiss will have access to the original image format in order that it can be reproduced as per their specifications.
