Best of Photojournalism 2003
Picture Editing Rules & Guidelines
Overview
The picture editing competition is an attempt to recognize the individuals and
publications that identify and encourage excellence in photojournalism and reward that work with effective usage on the pages of their publications. Picture editing is a complex process
involving many steps along the way to excellence. Picture selection,
photographer coaching and page design are but a few of the steps in
the process. In some cases this is done by one individual and in
others the work involves many individuals. The identification of the
individual or individuals responsible for the success of each entry
in the editing division in many cases is difficult, but it is the
responsibility of the entrant to make that decision.
