Here's an update of the competition entry guidelines for 2008/09. They provide guidelines for Digital Submissions, Competition sections and the awarding of points to reflect the rule changes made at the AGM.
2008/2009 Competitions Update
Digital Competitions
Images are to be resized to 1024 along their longest edge. Make sure the "constrain proportions" box is ticked so the shorter side is resized correctly and the imaged is saved at 72dpi.
Please rename your images using numbers 01-06 followed by your initials. If you have a middle name, use this in your initials. Then add your title at the end.
For Example
01_AMW_Title
01_AMW_AnotherTitle
03_AMW_FurtherTitle
and so on.
Please save your images on either memory stick, CD or DVD (preferably memory stick)
If you are having trouble resizing your images either ask for help or leave them at their full size and they will be resized for you.
Competition Sections
This season we are introducing two sections for each competition (apart from the close season assignment which will not be spilt into sections)
On your entry form please state which section you are entering.
The intermediate section is for members who have not been placed in a competition. Prints should be board mounted in the usual manner and be between 40sq inches and A4 in size. No prints large than A4 will be accepted for judging.
The open section is for members who have been previously placed in a competition. Prints should be at least 40sq inches and mounted on board no larger than 20x16 inches.
Decide on which section you wish to enter when you enter your first monthly competition as you CANNOT change once you have entered, so please use a little common sense when choosing which section to enter.
As the opening of the season is fast approaching, the handing in for the Close Season Assignment is nearing too. The subjects this year are:
