I don't take the category into account--much--because I recognize how difficult it can be to decide what category might apply. Into which category would you place a static shot of a Classic Car, for example?
"Photos must be selected for one of these categories: Abstract, B&W, Cityscape/ Urban, Documentary, Glamour/Fashion, HDR, In-Camera Effects, Landscapes, Lifestyle, Macro, Nature, Portraiture, Sports/Action, Travel, Food." What about a tinted duo-tone? I'd put it under B&W except that I'm afraid the unwashed masses would say, "Oi! That's color! Bzzzzzzzt!!!!!" I think that the PPG admins could easily switch the Category to a more appropriate one where the submitter quite clearly goofed up, like a landscape tagged as Portraiture.
