No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Images must include live people engaged in some activity relevant to the faith, belief or religion being represented by the image.
Images of artwork, symbols, signs or buildings alone will be disqualified. If people are present in images of these subjects, they cannot simply be passersby.
Images can range from formal portraits to candids, as long as it's evident that the people are either engaged in or representing their beliefs, faith or religion.
Images of body parts, such as hands holding a sacred book or item such as prayer beads are acceptable.
"Organized religions" aren't the only acceptable subject. The important thing is that the photo tells the story of someone acting iupon or representing their faith or belief, not whether the faith or belief conforms to "organized religion".
Please include a description to help identify the faith or belief being portrayed.
