NPSNZ Honours Information
The deadline for submitting an honours portfolio is at the end of January.
Please think about applying for your Honours, whether you have done so before or not. It is a great way to learn, and to improve your photography. If you missed out previously, do please try again. We aim to keep the standard high, so inevitably many of us will miss out first time around.
LEVELS: FELLOW, ASSOCIATE, LICENTIATE
Honours are awarded at 3 levels: Fellow (F), Associate (A), Licentiate (L)
Images may be submitted as either prints or digital projected images.
For an L Set
the requirement is for 10 images, which should flow well, represent a range of subject matter and technique, and demonstrate a high level of photographic skill.
For an A Set
the requirement is for 12 images demonstrating a higher level of a range of skills. The set should flow well, and represent a range of subject matter and technique.
For an F Set
the requirement is for a set of 18 images of exceptional quality, showing originality and mastery of photographic skill and style. They should follow a distinct theme (e.g. a set of images of orchid flowers).
If you already have honours it is possible to submit a set at the same level but in a different category, in this case you will receive a certificate but not additional letters. Please talk to the honours board secretary if you are considering this.

HONOURS ARE AWARDED IN ONE OF THREE CATEGORIES:
Category 1: Natural Environment and Wildlife (Natural History)
Images must represent nature, or a natural process or activity. Animals must be self sustaining and free living.
Category 2: Impact of Humans on Nature
Images must represent the influence of humans on nature or a natural process or activity. At the Licentiate or Associate level the set may have a theme.
Category 3: Nature Open
Images must represent nature, or a natural process or activity. This category is intended to make Nature photography accessible to a wider range of photographers, including constructed natural-looking scenes, wildlife parks and zoos, allowing learning and creative opportunities.
