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.
