According to their press release, “This year the categories of Sports, Nature and Portraits will once again be judged by specialized juries during the first round.”

In deciding which pictures to submit, see the advice of jury chairman David Burnett: Be your own toughest editor. If you are not tough on yourself, we will be. One bad picture in a story takes away the merit of two good ones.
