1: Entries to the Competition are welcome under either (or both) of the following catergories: People and culture or The Natural World. Each category is open to individual interpretation, but images must attempt to portray the educational benefits of travel and adventure.
2: Entrants can submit up to four photos in total, (split as you like between the two categories) and can be in colour or black and white.
3: Images may be digitally enhanced to remove spots or scratches, but not manipulated. Entrants can enhance the picture to make it brighter, clearer etc, but not manipulate the content. We reserve the right to exclude any image we believe may have been excessively treated so as to alter its authenticity.
4: To enter the competition, please send your entries to competition@thestc.co.uk stating your name, school or organisation, address, contact telephone number (both daytime and evening) and where the photo(s) were taken. Entries can also be sent by post to: The Specialist Travel Consultancy Ltd, 11-15 Dixs Field, Exeter, EX1 1QA. Unfortunately printed images cannot be returned and proof of posting is not proof of receipt. The STC accepts no responsibility for entries lost, damaged or delayed in the post.
5: The competition closes at midnight on Friday 16 October 2009.
6: All entries will be judged by STC staff and their decision will be final and no correspondence can be entered into. There is no cash alternative.
7: All entries must be the original work of the entrant and must not infringe the rights of any other party. The entrants must be the sole owner of copyright in all photographs entered and should have obtained permission of any people featured in the entries or their parents/guardians if children under 16 are featured.

By entering the competition all entrants grant to the STC the right to publish their photographs on the STCs website and any possible future marketing material.
