Judging criteria
The story behind an image and the reasons why it was created are as important as the image itself. Our judges are looking for three things:
1. Creativity and visual impact
- Strong visual impact
- Thoughtful/considered composition
- Use of colour (or intentional lack thereof) to enhance impact
2. Storytelling
- Strong visual story that centres on a health issue
- Clear written narrative around health or medicine
3. Technical excellence
- Excellent image quality for the type of imaging technique used
- Appropriate and skilful image manipulation/editing if used
- High-resolution image and size suitable for print outputs
- Meets criteria in terms and conditions.
