When submitting your images digitally (i.e. not printed) please use the following guidelines:

File Type                –   jpeg
Image Mode          –   RGB Colour
Colour Depth        –   8 bits only
Colour Space        –   sRGB
Compression         –   None (high quality)
Layers                   –   Flattened
Alpha Channels    –   Removed

Pixel Dimensions/Image Size   –   you should re-size your images to fit within a box 1600 pixels wide and 1200 pixels tall.

Maximum File Size    –   You should aim for around 1 Mbyte per image. However, setting the above pixel dimensions will usually limit the file size to something acceptable.

Transfer Media   –   Images should be emailed to the competition secretary or submitted  on a data stick or CD.

Filename   –   Your images should begin with your membership number followed by the title of the image with no spaces.  E.g. The file name for an image from an author with membership number 31 of a “Misty Loch Ard” would be 31_MistyLochArd.jpg.

Other points:

• • The Image itself must not display the title or author’s name.
  • If you submit a data stick, ensure you copy the images from it and retrieve it on the same night. If you submit a CD please write your name, membership number and photo titles on it.
  • Please do not stick labels onto your CD.
