The Marville Challenge Rules 2024 – 2025

SHAPES AND TEXTURES

Our MarVille Challenge Set subject for the next year is SHAPES AND TEXTURES. Look into your subjects selected, composition and let’s have fun with this challenge!

Find shapes and textures in manmade objects or in nature. Look for intricate or intimate macro subjects or go the opposite way and look for bigger objects or landscapes that suit the subject.

Images can feature either shapes or textures or a combination of the two. Try and tell a little story with your subject, but it is not essential in the image. Use light and shadows to accentuate and define the textures and shapes of your subject.

RULES

Images can be in colour or monochrome but must be captured in camera and not created in Photoshop.

Editing is allowed, but no composites. AI images are also not allowed.

Images must be taken from 1 November 2024 to 30 September 2025.

20 Junior, 20 Senior to be submitted by each club.

No more than 3 images per photographer for the Junior and Senior category.

A club member may enter work through any club they are a member of. However, each image must be unique to that club. In cases where this rule is ignored, the images will be disqualified in both clubs’ entry submissions, resulting in a no score for those particular images towards the clubs’ total score.

No text, logos, watermarks.

Only images taken within the dates above will be eligible for selection.
