• photos are in the largest possible size, at least 2400 × 3600 px (150 DPI)
• photos have proper description (what is in the photo)
• author is known (personal name and contacts)
• geographic location is known

Participation rules and details will be provided when agreed in the project. All the members are invited to participate.
