The competition process will go more quickly and efficiently if everyone has prepared their submissions correctly and abides by a few simple rules of procedure.
Submitting Prints:
Prints must be mounted on foam core size 16 inches by 20 inches, with NO mats or frames. Prints (before mounting) must measure a minimum of 11 inches on the short side by 14 inches on the long side, and a maximum of 16 inches on the short side, and 20 inches on the long side. Include your name, category and title on the BACK of the print, in the lower left corner – not on the front. (Section III, Rule 3 of the Competition Rules and Regulations). No signature is to be visible on the front.
Members should submit their entries to the competition chairperson and his/her helpers at least 30 minutes before the meeting begins.
In addition to the print being submitted at the time of competition, the digital file of the printed image must be submitted by midnight on the Thursday before the competition in accordance with the timetable for digital images below in order to facilitate judging.
Submitting Digital Images for projection:
All digital entries must follow the rules defined by the digital competition coordinator and as outlined in the Rules and Procedures.
Submit images through the Naples Camera Club website. - naplescameraclub.com
Images must be sized to 1024 pixels on the long side i.e. either horizontal or vertical, whichever way is longer. For square images, this will be 1024 on both sides. Don't worry about the resolution
Convert files to JPEG … and when you get the quality screen, choose “maximum.” If your file is over 2MB in size then it’s probably too big; if it is 200K or less then it is a bit small. You can change the file size by changing the number at the jpeg quality screen.
Color profile setting should be sRGB.
Please name your file properly - short meaningful titles are best - try to limit the title to 5 or less words. After you save the file, rename it to the following format:
Title the image: “Picture Title.jpg” (jpg will appear automatically when you name the image)
Example: Blue Bird.jpg
Images should be submitted no later than midnight on Thursday before the meeting. Photos sent after this time will not be included in the competition.
