Apologies in advance for my confusion, but I'm trying to separate outdoor portrait and street in my own mind. Can I take it that the subject must be involved for a portrait, whereas street probably means little or no involvement?

As usual, put whatever slant you like and let the voters decide!
Street photography, also sometimes called candid photography, is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents[1] within public places. Although there is a difference between street and candid photography, it is usually subtle with most street photography being candid in nature but not all candid photography being classifiable as street photography. 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.
To sum up, street is probably candid, perhaps but not necessarily involve people, and may or may not involve a street, but not all candid photos are street?
You've nailed it Chris.
This is a nice little documentary on street photography:

I would say yes, it was light that was part of the environment in which you shot and beyond your control.The shot I'd like to use for Natural Light Portraits was shot at an outdoor market without flash, but there were probably fluorescents under the stall awnings. Is it elligible please? Ta.

I say no.....
Only joking.
It's obviously up to @Carl Hall to judge seeing as he has organised the competition but I disagree with Nick & Andy. Flourescent lights are an additional light source so, in my opinion, it's not natural light. Sorry! I'm only a beginner though so I may be talking utter rubbish.
Over to you Carl....

With apologies to @Andysnap for making him look even more ridiculous than normal
Could this be the price paid for a nod to buy a Pentax 645N.I may look ridiculous but at least I'm well dressed and ridiculous.

I wouldn’t say you look ridiculous Andy, you bring to mind a young Brunel but without the whiskers.I may look ridiculous but at least I'm well dressed and ridiculous.
I was thinking more Eric Morecambe in a 'Play what I writ'.I wouldn’t say you look ridiculous Andy, you bring to mind a young Brunel but without the whiskers.
Hopefully that would have been a prerequisite of signing the model release form?Could this be the price paid for a nod to buy a Pentax 645N.
