投稿主題：
To help you understand each of the awards categories we have provided a summary description of each of the Xposure International Award Categories. Considering the technical advances in photographic equipment with the capabilities of recording high-resolution movies, we have added a new “Short Film” category for the benefit of filmmakers. The Short Film category covers genres of documentary, drama, action, or animation / stop motion.
Architectural Photography is the photographing of buildings and similar structures both exterior and interior, that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects. A deep depth of field is usually employed so that both the foreground and background (to infinity) are in sharp focus. Architectural photography typically shows either the exterior or the interior of buildings.
Drone & Aerial Photography is the taking of photographs from an aircraft or other flying object. Platforms for aerial photography include fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or “drones”), and balloons, Mounted cameras may be triggered remotely or automatically; hand-held photographs may be taken by a photographer.
Junior Category – (under 18 – restrictions apply)
The Junior category is separate from the main awards and open to all types of still photography recorded by phone, DLSR, or mirrorless camera and produced at a Junior level (entrants must be under 18 at the time of entry). Photos must have been taken in the past three years. Entrants must be residents of the United Arab Emirates.
Landscape Photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes. Landscape photography is done for a variety of reasons.
Portrait Photography or portraiture in photography is a photograph of a person or group of people that captures the personality of the subject by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses. A portrait picture might be artistic, or it might be clinical, as part of a medical study.
Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images.
Short Film & Moving Image
The short film category includes moving images & stop motion. To enter requires uploading your file in MP4 format with a running length of at least 3 minutes up to a maximum of 20 minutes including credits to a maximum of 1GB in file size. The scope can be either documentary, drama, action, animation/stop motion, or news. Stop motion is an animated film-making technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames. This does not include computer-generated animation.
Street Photography should demonstrate impeccable timing and originality by capturing a candid snippet in time that conveys a story. Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. Though people usually feature directly, street photography might be absent of people and can be of an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic
Wildlife Photography is a genre of photography concerned with documenting various forms of wildlife in their natural habitat. As well as requiring photography skills, wildlife photographers may need field craft skills. Images taken in domestic environments or in Zoos do not constitute wildlife photography.
為了幫助您了解每個獎項類別，我們提供了每個 Xposure 國際獎項類別的摘要說明。考慮到具有錄製高分辨率電影功能的攝影設備的技術進步，我們為電影製作人增加了一個新的“短片”類別。短片類別涵蓋紀錄片、戲劇、動作或動畫/定格動畫的類型。
建築攝影是建築物和類似結構的外部和內部的攝影，它們既美觀又準確地表現了他們的主題。通常採用深景深，以便前景和背景（無限遠）都清晰對焦。建築攝影通常顯示建築物的外部或內部。
無人機和航空攝影 是從飛機或其他飛行物體上拍攝照片。航拍平台包括固定翼飛機、直升機、無人駕駛飛行器（UAV或“無人機”）和氣球，可遠程或自動觸發安裝的攝像機；手持照片可由攝影師拍攝。
少年組——（18 歲以下——有限制）
少年組獨立於主要獎項，對通過電話、DLSR 或無反光鏡相機錄製並以少年級別製作的所有類型的靜態攝影開放（參賽者必須在 18 歲以下）入境時間）。照片必須是在過去三年內拍攝的。參賽者必須是阿拉伯聯合酋長國的居民。
風景 攝影 展示了世界中的空間，有時是廣闊無止境的，但有時是微觀的。風景照片通常捕捉自然的存在，但也可以關注人為特徵或風景的干擾。出於各種原因進行風景攝影。
肖像攝影或攝影中的肖像畫是一個人或一群人的照片，它通過使用有效的照明、背景和姿勢來捕捉主題的個性。作為醫學研究的一部分，肖像圖片可能是藝術的，也可能是臨床的。
新聞攝影是一種特殊的新聞形式（收集、編輯和展示新聞材料以供出版或廣播），它使用圖像來講述新聞故事。現在通常理解為僅指靜止圖像。
短片和動態影像
短片類別包括動態影像和定格動畫。要進入，需要以 MP4 格式上傳您的文件，運行長度至少為 3 分鐘，最長為 20 分鐘，包括文件大小最大為 1GB 的積分。範圍可以是紀錄片、戲劇、動作、動畫/定格動畫或新聞。定格 動畫是一種動畫電影製作技術，其中物體在單獨拍攝的幀之間以小增量進行物理操作。這不包括計算機生成的動畫。
街頭攝影應該通過及時捕捉傳達故事的坦率片段來展示無可挑剔的時機和獨創性。街頭攝影不需要街道甚至城市環境的存在。雖然人們通常直接以人物為特徵，但街頭攝影可能沒有人，並且可以是一個物體或環境，圖像在傳真或美學中投射出明顯的人類特徵
野生動物攝影 是一種攝影類型，旨在記錄自然棲息地中各種形式的野生動物。除了需要攝影技能外，野生動物攝影師可能還需要野外工藝技能。在家庭環境或動物園中拍攝的圖像不構成野生動物攝影。

JUDGING ENTRIES
The panel of judges is looking to award the overall winner of the annual international photography awards and the overall best picture from all photography award categories. In addition to the main prizes, all winning and shortlisted photographers will be featured in a gallery at Xposure 2023.
In each category, judges will award:
One winner
One runner-up
Five shortlisted
The winner and runner-up from each category will be invited to the Xposure Festival Awards Ceremony (including flights and accommodation for the festival week) where the final outcome of the position will be announced.
Qualification
All submitted images will be screened by the Moderators to ensure that no offensive or culturally sensitive material is presented to the Jury. Submissions will either be approved or rejected at this stage. Any offensive or incorrectly categorised entries will be removed from the competition without notice.
Judging Procedure
Round One – Entries will be judged from artistic merit and overall impact
Round Two – Entries will be judged from the composition, technical quality, and effectiveness of expressing the category theme.
Round One Process
The VIP jury (the “Judges”) will independently review each entry and apply a credit rating on the basis of Overall Impact and Artistic Merit. The collective credit ratings from this process form the round one score.
Short List Round One
The 25 highest ranked images in each category will go forward to round two. In the case that two or more images are in ranking position 25 all those images with the equal 25th point score will go ahead into round two.
Round Two Process
In Round Two the judges will apply a credit rating on the basis of Photographic / Technical Quality, Image Composition, and Effectiveness in expressing the category theme.
The Judges individually consider the three aspects (criteria) for each image and allocate credits on each element. The collective scores will determine the ranking. Should one or more images be placed equally in ranking 1, 2, or 3, there shall be a final “Tie-Break” round of judging.
Tie-Break Process
If a tie-break is required, the judges will consider the respective images once again based on the criteria of Originality. The Judges will apply a credit rating of 1 to 6 in the Tie Break process. Decisions of the Judges are final and binding.
Awards Committee Review
After the Jury has completed their scoring the shortlist will be automatically generated. A category shortlist will comprise the ten highest-ranking entries. For each category, the Awards Committee will apply additional scoring criteria that will either add points or deduct points to the shortlist. The outcome of the Awards Committee adjustments will produce the leaderboard of winners and nominees. The Awards Committee is made up of four leading Industry expert picture editors.

進行評判 第二輪 – 參賽作品將根據作品的構圖、技術質量和表達類別主題的有效性進行評判。
第一輪流程
VIP 評審團（“評委”）將獨立審查每個參賽作品，並根據整體影響力和藝術價值應用信用評級。此過程的集體信用評級形成第一輪分數。
第一輪候選名單
