The rules state,
"Every image must include a person ..."
Why is this so? Why are we not permitted to submit environmental portraits of wildlife?
It is very disappointing to limit environmental portraiture to only Homo sapiens when there are so many other worthy species to photograph.
Environmental Portraits literally means people.
There have been many past contests where you could have entered wildlife stuff.
No, the term does not literally mean people.
Within wildlife photography circles, wildlife photographers often speak about capturing environmental portraits of the species that they shoot.

Actually, it does. If you search (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc, etc) for 'Environmental Portraits' images, you will find literally all of them are of people, not wildlife. Yes, I get it, you may find that 1 or 2 outlier. The point is everyone literally perceives that term for people.
Again, you are misusing the word "literally".
The term "literally" cannot be accurately used in this context if there are outliers. If there may be outliers, as you said, then you should not use the term "literally" in the way that you used it.
It would behoove you to be more precise and accurate in the way you word your comments. It is NOT okay to be wrong from time to time, due to sloppy use of vocabulary and phraseology.
Lol! Smh. Man, you must literally be fun at parties. Rhetorical question by way. Sad I have to actually make that clarification.
It would do you well to get out more and literally spend time with your fellow humans.
