Creative Brief

The theme of this photography competition is "Duality", so we ask you to interpret the concept of "Duality" by using a photograph. Some words we think of in relation to duality are: twins, opposites, Gemini, pairs, clones, counterparts, contrasts, and polarity…but let your imagination and your creative eye lead you in your own photographic interpretation.

In contrast to our previous competitions, this one is a photography-competition. This means that the source image needs to be a photograph. You can tweak it, skew it, distort it, polish it, or just leave it a snapshot. The only rule is: No purely vector based designs. Every entry needs to be based on a photographic element in order to be eligible for consideration.

To sum up:

-	Submit a photographic image that interprets the theme “Duality” in exceptional, new and creative ways and that works as a stand-alone work of art.
-	The image has to be based on a photograph, but can be digitally altered as long as the original photograph is still identifiable. Purely vector based submissions will not be considered for winning.
-	Follow the briefing and the specifications and make sure you own the rights to all elements of your submission.
-	Your entries can depict the MINI, but this does not influence your chances of winning.
-	Do NOT use the MINI logo.
-	Your image should be 1280x800 pixels in size and JPG or GIF format.
-	File size limit for GIF is 100KB, for JPG 4 MB.

Deadline

Upload at least one (and up to 9) submission until September 18th 2009, 11:59am GMT.
