DPI only, 3 categories, Color, Monochrome, Specials Topic

Each person can submit 3 photos for each class for each judging. The classes
are Open Color, Open Monochrome and Specials.

If you miss submitting for a competition, you can submit “make-up”
images. Make-ups will not be eligible to win awards like Print Of The
Month. They will be judged separately and awarded points based on
their own merit. Those points get added into your total points for the
year

Specifications for images are as as follow:
■ Must be a JPG file. The file will be returned to the submitter for
conversion if it isn’t.
■ sRGB is recommended. sRGB – stands for Standard Red Green Blue
and is a color space, or a set of specific colors.
■ Sepia is acceptable in the Monochrome category.
■ Borders: A border around the image is highly recommended but not
mandatory. The border can be black, white, grey or any color you feel
is complimentary. The width of the border must be factored into your
final image dimensions.
■ Dimensions:
● Width: Less than or equal to 1400 pixels
● Height: Less than or equal to 1050 pixels

When resizing, it’s recommended you retain your proportions,
but don’t exceed the larger of the two dimensions on either
edge. For example, you might resize a vertical image down to a
height of 1050 pixels, but the proportionate width might only
be 790 pixels. That will allow your image to display properly.
● Examples:
○ Vertical: An image with the original dimensions of 1440
wide x 2160 high, would be downsized to 693 wide x
1040 high. If you add a 5 pixel border, the dimensions
increase to 703 wide x 1050 high because you’re adding
5 pixels to each edge. (10 pixels in height and 10 pixels
in width)
○ Landscape: An image with the original dimensions of
2160 wide x 1440 high, would be downsized to 1390
wide x 927 high. If you add a 5 pixel border, the
dimensions increase to 1400 wide x 937 high because
you’re adding 5 pixels to each edge. (10 pixels in height
and 10 pixels in width)
