The Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management (HTSM) Department and the students of the Conference and Exhibitions course (THOM-300) organise the 7th HTSM Department Photo competition and 2nd Higher Education photo competition.

 

COMPETITION THEME

This year’s competition theme is titled “Wanderlust”.

The world is a wonderful place! Every travel destination has its own look, culture, history, people, feelings, landscapes, and stories. Convey the spirit of a place to others, giving them a glimpse of what it might be like to venture there!

GENERAL TERMS OF PARTICIPATION

The competition is open only and to all higher education students worldwide; however, an entry may be rejected when the sponsoring organisation or its agent, in its reasonable distraction, believes the entry does not conform to the exhibition rules and conditions.

Entries must originate as photographs (image-captures of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. By virtue of submitting an entry, the entrant certifies the work as their own and permits the sponsors to reproduce all or part of the entered material free of charge for publication and/or display in media related to the exhibition. This may include low resolution posting on a website. The exhibition assumes no liability for any misuse of copyright. Images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the maker and artwork or computer graphics created by the entrant may be incorporated if the photographic content predominates subject to divisional restrictions.

Each image submitted must be the original work of the participant who must also be its copyright owner. The participant shall retain copyright to the image entered for the competition.

Members of the Organising Committee are not eligible to enter the photo competition.
