Sid, thanks for posting the details. Just to clarify, only shots of entrances are allowed?

I am assuming that photographs from inside and outside the cave entrance are allowed ?

Cheers

Inside and outside are very much allowed. Checkout our current selection of entrances for ideas.

A cunning ploy to get more entrance shots methinks :-\ I always think entrances are most interesting photographically from outside in but for identification not much use at all unless vice versa ;D

I've got some photos which I didn't have time to enter before the end of the comp. Do you still want photos for the records?
