Submitting Images - Tips on Submitting Digital Images

Provided by: MORT TUCKER PHOTOGRAPHY / HOWARD COLOR

Direct digital photography by a professional, commercial photographer would be the best choice for your entries. A professional camera 6 megapixels or greater is preferred to ensure high-quality images for large-projection output and printed media.

Image quality is critical to the judging process. Avoid photographic fill light. Identify daylighting (see #4 in Entry Rules for details). Retouched or digitally enhanced photographs are not allowed.

Traditional photography (film) is still acceptable. To convert film images to digital format, please have the images scanned at a minimum of 8x10@300 dpi RGB.*

Please submit all images on CD as TIFF, PSD or JPEG. TIFFS are preferable. All images must be named to identify the project and then numbered to agree with the keyed description. Examples of naming convention: clevebrwns001.tif, clevebrwns002.tif.

Example of 3000 pixels x 3000 pixels (6 megapixels) format:
