Environment – A situation or place, the emphasis is on the whole rather than the constituent parts.

Object – Inanimate object(s) or still life.  Can be any object in any place, the emphasis being the object rather than its surroundings.

Project  - In this category we are looking for a set of 6, 7 or 8 related images that represent a project, art project or photo story on a single theme.
