RULES: (Airscene rules comply with Pro-Imaging Bill of Rights for photography competitions)

1) Each entrant (or household) may submit a maxium of 2 entries for shortlisting. Entrants must submit at least one entry taken at an airshow in 2009, however the second entry may have been taken during the 2008 season. *For clarification - entries are accepted if they have been taken at a public airshow or any publicised event with a scheduled air display, and must be searchable on the internet. Fly-pasts are not included as scheduled air display, and incidentally neither are model aeroplane displays.

2) Entries which are "too similar" to a previously shortlisted entry will not be accepted for shortlisting. Due to shortlisting being carried out in batches, the earliest entry in any batch shall be eligible for shortlisting, and the later entrant will be offered the opportunity of submitting an alternative.

3) Entry subject matter is limited to aircraft only (static or display). All other images will be rejected.

4) Each entry must be accompanied by the entrants name and address OR mailing list number.

5) Entries must be a maximum of 1MB in size. The calendar uses a 2 x 1 landscape format (2250px * 1125px), therefore this is the recommended format for submission, however any format which can be cropped to meet the requirements of the calendar may be submitted, with the exception of vertical formats. Please use the box below for reference, or check previous edition of the calendar. Please ensure a minimum file size of 250kb.

7) Submission of your entry is taken as assurance that the work is your own, and was taken no earlier than 1st January 2008.

Entrants will be notified. Finally after the close of the competition (30th September 2009) all entries will be judged by a panel of 6 judges, each awarding points to the 12 entries they consider to be the best. The 12 entries with the highest number of points will all appear in the 2009 Airscene Calendar, and prizes awarded as per the prize list below. Selected entries will also appear on the accompaniying screensaver.
