Our usual Digital entry rules regarding size, file format and media apply.
1. Digital Projected Images & film Slide entries must be delivered at least one week prior to the exhibition. A Slide case is provided for this purpose.
No entries will be accepted on the night of the exhibition.
2. A maximum of 6 images may be entered, limited to no more than 3 in either section
3. All Film Slides must be clearly and correctly spotted - as the slide is viewed in the hand, a large circular spot on the bottom left-hand corner of the mount.
Please note that rule C applies.
DIGITAL PROJECTED IMAGES – Excerpt from our web site guidance page…
1. Entries are to be supplied to the Exhibition Secretary one week prior to the competition.
2. Entries may only be submitted on CD or USB memory stick.
We may not be able to read CD's that are 'open' or on rewritable media, though most tried so far have been OK.
FILE PREPARATION
The requirements for digital projection are that you should prepare your work as follows:
a) Images must be sized exactly for the projector’s native resolution - currently 1400 x 1050 pixels (width / height)
If one image dimension is smaller than the native resolution, then the photographer must provide a background canvas to meet the size.This is normally black.
b) Images should be supplied in Portable Networks Graphics (*.png) format, non-interlaced.
FILE NAMING
It helps if each picture file is named in a standard formula, as follows
We require the following format:
• First letter for class, i.e. 'O' (= Open) or 'S' (= Set)
• The title e.g. 'PrettyPicture'
• Your name e.g. 'JoeBloggs'
• each separated by an underscore _
So a typical file might end up being Saved As: O_PrettyPicture_JoeBloggs.png
The filename must contain only alphabetical letters and numbers from 0 to 9.
Avoid using any 'system' characters - spaces, punctuation or DOS control characters including
*, ?, !, &, /, \, |, ‘, ', or .,
should be not be used.
The whole filename must be less than 128 characters long.
