Photography & Video Requirements

It is a requirement that photographs be submitted as a part of your IPWEA-QNT Awards entry. Each category nomination requires specific photographs. Upon receipt of the entry, should these requirements not be met, the entry will be considered incomplete and cannot be processed.

The judges use photographs in their deliberations and, if your entry wins an award, we will use the photographs in the awards presentation, to promote the awards to the media and across a range of publications and other promotional channels.

Please check there are no obscure objects in the pictures. Try to include photos that are free of a cluttered background and compliments your nomination. The simpler the shot, the bigger the impact.

Photographers Authorisation

Please ensure you have the photographer’s authorisation to use any photos taken by professional photographers. You will need to check the Photography Authorisation box as part of your entry acknowledge and authorisation. This indicates that permission has been granted for IPWEA-QNT to use the professional photographs as part of the IPWEA-QNT awards program and associated marketing activities including publishing photos in magazines, on social media, in audio-visual presentations and other outlets.

IPWEA-QNT cannot reproduce a copyrighted photograph without authorisation from the photographer.
