Entering the Monthly Competition

Print Specifications

Prints are brought to the meeting and placed in the appropriate categories.

Dimensions:

26 inches is the tallest object that will fit in the light box. Glass and frames are NOT ALLOWED. Prints should have the maker's name, title and indication of the UP direction on the back of the print. The minimum print size is 8" x 10".

Digital Specifications

Dimensions:

  • Maximum vertical dimension - 768 pixels.
  • Maximum horizontal dimension - 1024 pixels.
  • Panorama maximum horizontal dimension 1024 pixels, and maximum vertical dimension 525 pixels.

Image format:

JPEG - image quality adjusted so that the compressed size is less than 450 K.

Naming:

Each image must have a title that includes the name of the image and the entry category. For example an image titled "Red Car" entered into the Digital Open (OP) category would have the file name Red_Car_OP. Do not include your name or initials in the title so that judging can be done without knowledge of the image maker. (But, do include your name in the EXIF data so the maker can be identified once the judging is completed). Also, make sure that the total number of characters of the image name, including spaces, is no more that 31.

Submitting:

Send entries for digital projection as attachment(s) to an email addressed to digitalentries@flatironsphotoclub.com. Entries must be received by midnight of the day before the meeting. This allows time for an email to be sent to the submitter that the images have been received correctly and allows time to prepare the images for digital projection as part of the competition.
