Just being pedantic here ... Is that rubbish or garbage?

I looked it up in an American dictionary. Apparently it's an alternative
American way of spelling "rubbish".

Didn't find it in either of my American dictionaries. Google had no
definitions. Spellchecker in Word suggested that perhaps I meant
ribcage or cubage or cribbage or rub age (?) or rebate or rubbing or
urbane (though this may be the work of Evil Paperclip Man). Unless it's
seriously local (like the Sea Islands or that place where they speak
Boontling), I don't think it's ours.

Anyway I looked it up at unwords.com and got the following definitions:
1. (n.) Large pieces of truck tire found on the side of the road.
2. (n.) An act of vigorously rubbing a dog's belly while speaking to the dog
in baby-talk.
Hm... wonder how to implement that in an image. :-)

My pedantic question is in regarding the "from" and "to". Could there be a
different stress on this meaning, say in other countries?
Do you think this should mean:
i) The process of taking things from where humans discard items out of their
households to the long term storage (dumps),
or
ii) The exploration of any and all themes including anything from where
humans discard items out of their households to the long term storage
(dumps).

Either. It's not like irtc rejects images which are not exactly on
topic, and in some cases they reward them if the reinterpretation is
original, and interesting. That's why they have the "Honorable Mention:
Concept, Originality, Interpretation of Theme" category.
For instance, if I had entered the last competition, I was considering
an interior scene, a man opening a gift, to find a lamp shaped like
a FROG. The title would be "Marge! I said FOG light."
My overly pedantic take on this theme is that things don't go from
the "rubbage bin" (whatever the hell that is) to the Junkyard.
They go to the dump. Junkyards are places where items which might
be resold and reused are taken. I guess that argues more for your
second interpretation. Still, I imagine a lot of people
will not catch that, and we'll see lots of garbage trucks and maybe
a few trash barges being entered.

tom,
I've seen how in the past people allow for some liberal interpretation of
theme, and hope they continue to do so. I plan to enter the current round
and because of the contrast between garbage and junkyard, I took the topic
in more of a "cast-off, unwanted, forgotten, neglected, etc." sense. Of
course, I had commited to my scene idea before the notes on the topic came
out. They seem to indicate traditional garbage, and now I wonder how I fit
with the theme.
