Photojournalism entries are images with informative content and emotional impact, reflecting the human presence in our world.

•  The journalistic (story-telling) value of the image should receive priority over pictorial quality. 
  
  
•  Images that misrepresent the truth, such as those from events or activities arranged specifically for photography, or of subjects directed or hired for photography, are not eligible.

Borders: In Reality Divisions in S4C  (Nature, PhotoTravel, Photojournalism) single white or grey borders of 3, 4, or 5 pixels in width are permitted. Larger, smaller, black, or color borders are not permitted. Entrants are, however, advised that borders of less than 5 pixels may appear incomplete in the smaller images used in the final Catalog due to jpeg artifacts.
