Hi all, just wondering if anyone else finds the categories confusing? This is my third year of entering (commended in 2014, shortlisted last year), but every year am confused whether to enter pictures into 'Classic' or 'Your View'.
Another local photographer has said they feel the same, mainly because we live in an area that has no classic or iconic views (at least known to the wider public), so in theory everything could be categorised as 'Your View'. The descriptions seem to make little sense as they encourage the likes of misty tree/detail shots to be entered into Your View, but these types of pictures regularly make it into the 'Classic' category of the book, also classic wide style landscapes appear in 'Your View'.
Has anyone got any thoughts or advice about this or the competition in general they'd like to share?
