how to enter your work for competitions:
Competitions are only open to club members.
PROJECTED images and three mounted prints - You can only enter three per competition
Prints
-
Titles are optional. For prints the title may be written on the front or back of the print or record it on a piece of paper for the competition secretary.
-
Your photos can be uplifted at the next meeting after the competition judging.
-
Bring your photographs mounted or un-mounted, at club meetings. They will be stored in a portfolio case to keep your photos nice and safe.
Digital
- Please check your digital entries carefully before giving to the Competition Secretary.
- Images must be no more than 72 DPI and no more than 1024 pixels on the longest side.
- Titles are optional. For digital images, the title shall be included in the file name.
- Save images to a CD with the title of your image and as a jpg. e.g. zanzibar_squid_seller.jpg
- If your images are large and you don’t have an image resized, e.g Photoshop, the competition secretary will downsize the image to a maximum of 1024 pixels although they would rather not have to. No other image adjustments will be undertaken.
- Waikato Photographic Society does NOT take any responsibility for the possibility of compromising the quality of your images.
Slides
Images for the website
Club members only may submit work for showing on this website. Submit your images to
our webmaster.
-
Email your web ready image, 72 dpi and 150 pixels on the longest side to Virginia. Please note that Virginia will resent being emailed very large files, a 500KB email is much too large.
-
Remember when resizing your image in Photoshop change the DPI first before changing the pixel size.
-
Images with high contrast and fine detail will not compress as well and produce larger file sizes, so depending on the image something between 15 and 55KB is acceptable.
-
Smaller file sizes are better, but no compression artefacts please (see the How To mentioned earlier).
-
Images on a CD are okay – give them to Virginia Schnauer she will resize and compress them.
-
Slides and Negatives: If you don't have a scanner for these forms of media, some of our members have scanners.
