+   Photography Guidelines
Focus on the human element: Highlight natural smiles, facial expressions, and candid moments in the work environment.
Use natural light to create a warm and authentic feel in your photos.
Capture spontaneity: Aim for real, unposed moments instead of staged or artificial shots.
Showcase diversity in gender, age, and roles within the work environment.
Prefer simple, neutral-colored backgrounds to keep the focus on the main subject.
Document the date and location of each photo when uploading to the website.
+   Terms & Conditions
Obtain verbal consent from the farmer before photographing them.
Secure written consent from the farmer allowing the use of their images.
Each participant may upload 5 to 10 photos only, without adding frames, watermarks, or dates.
Photos must be taken in tobacco fields located in the South, North, or Bekaa regions.
Each image must be between 1MB and 10MB, saved in JPEG or TIFF format, and in RGB mode.
Do not modify the file name or any EXIF data related to the photo.
Minor edits are allowed to enhance image quality—such as adjustments to brightness, color, contrast, hue, saturation, levels, curves, shadows, highlights, airbrushing, clone stamping, cropping, etc.—as long as the photo maintains a realistic feel.
All uploaded photos become the property of Régie and may be used freely by Régie without prior notice or permission from the photographer.
Photographing pregnant women or minors under 18 years old is strictly prohibited.
All submissions must respect ethical and legal standards, and must not contain any form of abuse or violation of human or environmental rights.
A professional jury will evaluate all submissions and select the winners. Their decision is final and non-negotiable.
Régie reserves the right to reject or remove any photo that fails to meet these conditions—even after it has been uploaded—without notifying the participant.
