Calendar

Closing 04 December 2021

Judging: 18 & 19 December 2021

Notification: 20 January 2022

On-line PDF Exhibition Catalog: 28 March 2022

Sending of awards: 15 April 2022

Exhibition Public Showings: 14 April 2022

SIZE LIMITS:

Maximum digital image width (horizontal) is 1920 pixels
Maximum digital image height (vertical) is 1080 pixels
Resolution 300 dpi

The images will be displayed for remote judging using individual monitors and laptops. The images will be displayed by each remote judge at the actual pixel dimensions submitted
The entry software will reject images that are larger than the above limits in either dimension even if it is only 1 pixel off. The exhibition will not resize any images. The maximum horizontal and vertical dimensions cannot be swapped. If you rotate your image to make it fit the limits, the exhibition will not rotate it to the proper position for judging.

Use the maximum quality for each of your .jpg images that do not result in a file size larger than 2Mb.

FILE NAMES:

You are not required to follow any naming convention for your .jpg files but be sure your original FILE NAME ONLY USES ENGLISH CHARACTERS. Foreign characters in the filenames can cause problems with the upload software. The on-line entry form software will properly rename your files to meet the needs of our exhibition software. Please limit titles to 35 characters including spaces and punctuation. The Entry Form software will clip any excess characters resulting in an incomplete title on the Entry Form for inclusion in the Acceptance Records. This will cause problems when applying for Star Ratings.

Entry Fees

Any 1 to 3 sections US$ 30 (USD)
Any 4 to 6 Sections US$ 40 (USD)

Possible ways of payment:
- PayPal transfer (Preferred method)
- The works of the authors who did not pay the fee would not be taken into consideration.

Any entry without paid entry fees at the time of judging will not be judged.

SUBMITTING IMAGES:

All Digital images must be submitted on-line using the English Alphabet only to fill-in the Projected Image Entry Form. After you have carefully read these “Information and Conditions of Entry”, and after double checking to make sure your images are no larger than 1920 pixels wide and no larger than 1080 pixels high, go to the bottom of these "Information and Conditions of Entry" and click on the DIGITAL ENTRY FORM button. When the Entry Form comes up fill it out, confirm you have read, understood, and will abide by these Conditions of Entry, attach your image files, and submit your entry. Your entry will not be submitted unless you confirm you have read these Conditions.

All digital section images must be submitted on the same entry form using the spaces provided on the form.
If you have trouble submitting your digital images on-line please contact the Chairman by going to the Exhibition Web Site and clicking on Contact Chairman to resolve.

BORDERS:

Borders are allowed but should only be thin strokes for Nature, Photo Travel, and Photojournalism images. Black borders will only hurt your score. Our presentation background is black and black borders will only make your images look smaller in relation to other images that are being judged.

COLOR SPACE:

The judging and display software operates in and assumes that the images are in sRGB color space. If you use a larger color space (such as Adobe 1998 or ProPhoto), the colors may be reduced by the judge's computer to fit the sRGB color space. This means your image may not display the way you intended; it may lose color or detail or both. To ensure that we see what you want us to see, make a copy of your image, convert the color space in the copy to sRGB, save it and send us the sRGB copy. We will not convert the image for you. Do not use CMYK color space. CMYK images will not be accepted or shown to the judges.

An entrant’s images will not be presented to the judges consecutively. An entrant’s four images will be distributed throughout four rounds of judging in that section. Distribution of images will be in the same round order as submitted by the entrant.
