  • Open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students in the UQ School of Communication & Arts.
  • Photos can be taken with any device (though DSLRs are encouraged)
  • Use of Photoshop is fine, but should be declared and changes briefly described in the submission email.

  • Include your Instagram handle if you wish to be tagged from the JACdigital Instagram.
  • Photos should be cropped to standard ratios (6:4, 4:3, 16:9, or 1:1 [square]). Most cameras will photograph in these ratios, but be careful when cropping that you don’t make it a non-standard shape.
