There's got to be a macro category...even if it means adding an 11th.

So, I see the threads, and the submission threads...what exactly are the rules? How many of each category will be in the book? Is there a reason only one submission per category?

No rules other than post a image that is appropriate for the topic. But, please have available a FULL SIZE original if your image is used in the book.

I am not sure how many photos will available to place in each category. The Designers will have to decide on that.

With 10 categories, the potential is that a person can have up to 10 photos in the book.

And those files should be in sRGB format as well...

Shouldn't nature and wildlife be the same thing?

From Wikipedia

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical world, or material world. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic.

The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".[1] Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.[2][3] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.[4][5]

Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" often refers to geology and wildlife. Nature may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects – the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural, the supernatural, or synthetic.

So, in my mind, the photographer will have to decide if Nature or Landscape will be the final category.

Many categories can overlap, so, it will the photographers judgment where to place it. IMO

there is a difference, but if we overlap them more people can participate. although nature and wildlife can be pretty different.
