By participating in the Earth In Focus Film and/or Photography Competition, I commit myself to the following code of ethics. Working in the natural environment, I will aim to use my skill sets to bring education and awareness during my encounters to help advocate for its preservation.

•    Using my skill sets and abilities, I will attempt to faithfully reproduce the beauty and majesty of the natural world by encouraging others to be engaged in its protection.
•    Using my platform, my voice and through my actions, I will document challenges faced by the natural world, and help to raise awareness as a call to action.
•    I will not stress, endanger or put any flora or fauna in a disadvantaged situation for the sake of documenting it even if it does not contribute to a good image / outcome.
•    I will not manipulate the surroundings or the environment by touching or provocation. I will choose to leave it or document it as it is.
•    I will aim to contribute time to document and tell stories to support local conservation efforts in and around my own region.
•    I will consider the consequences of my films and/or images to ensure that its delivery will carry across the appropriate messages to the audience.
•    I will take utmost effort to research the subject matter before documenting them, especially in the case of wildlife to respect their boundaries, behavioral patterns and how they will react. I understand that this will ensure my own safety and avoid situations that can be potentially dangerous for both me and the subject matter.
•    I will lead by example to build a better planetary future. e.g. refusing single-use plastics where possible and encouraging others to do the same, making informed consumption choices in a polite and respectful way.
•    I will contribute where I can in dialogue to those keen to learn and to inspire next generations.
•    If my images are used, I will commit to a fair price for commercial purposes so that these images with an impact can continue to tell important stories for the preservation of our natural world.  
•    I will help to communicate the activities and take part in promoting Earth In Focus Singapore Nature Film Festival and its competition.
•    Where I am able to, I will participate in the Earth In Focus Singapore Nature Film Festival and spread the word on my own platforms, and tag @earthinfocus.co and encourage others to join the festivities throughout the year.
•    I will commit to finding constructive solutions when challenged and understand the power of compromise, diplomacy and peaceful resolutions to obtain a common goal for conservation of our natural world.
