9. Prize Awards. The top photos will be posted on our web site as "winners". First place photo receives a first edition, hard bound copy of William Whitman's Five Decades with Tropical Fruit. Second place receives a grafting kit. Third and fourth place receive a set of fruit note cards. At the discretion of the contest promoters, prize awards may be canceled or expanded, depending on the number of entries. Judges' decisions are final. At the close of the contest, the winning photos and a list of winners will be posted to the web site.

10. Ownership of Photos. One purpose of this contest is to build a collection of photographs to use for educational and other purposes. All photographs sent in become the property of Quisqualis or its designee. Recognizing the need for researchers to use their own photos (and the difficulty in producing them) we will assign back to the photographer reproduction rights (electronic and print) on their request. No materials can be returned.

Privacy. No contact information for entrants will be given out. Unless an anonymous listing is requested the name of the entrant may be listed.
