About The Captured Experiences Competition
Four Rounds and a Final
The competition officially starts on 15 January 2010 with the final prize giving gala is being held early in April 2011.
The Competition consists of four rounds, each with 10 categories. See the Categories page for details on these categories. Each round will be judged independently of each other, with prizes awarded for first, second and third in each category (giving you a total of 120 prize winners in the rounds preceding the finals). The winner of each category, in all four rounds, will advance to the final. Out of the 40 winners from each category in the four previous rounds, 10 overall winners (one representing each category) will be selected.
Over and above the winners of the ten categories, all entrants will automatically be submitted for seven special prizes. See Prizes page and Judging below for more information.
