Open: Photographs of any type, and belonging to any genre, are acceptable as long as they

Thematic – A World of Peace; A World of War: War and peace exists in harmony. When a

part of the world is burdened by the dangers of war, another part enjoys the beauty of

peace. Ranging from nuclear holocaust, wars can be present even among colours in a

palette. Similarly, peace can be obtained from an expanse of nature, a peace treaty or may

be even a mere hug. JUPC aims at exhibiting photographs that express atleast one of war

or peace existing in our planet.

submission shall be entertained.

judging procedure. Any entrant making a submission that is not accompanied by entry

fees / payment details shall be notified of the problem and asked to provide both.

Further non-compliance shall lead to cancellation of the entry.

The organisers reserve the right to cancel an entry outright, i.e. without notifying the
