Annual Projected Image Competition.
This competition consists of the usual Club, Intermediate and
Advanced levels and in addition, there is a Nature section which does not
distinguish between Club, Intermediate and Advanced entrants but is open to
all. Anyone wishing to enter the Nature section must indicate the entries
with the appropriate identification (see rules below). Members may submit a
maximum of 4 PI images. These must be numbered in the entrant’s preferred
order, as all image 4s may be excluded if the total entry in a competition is
excessive. In addition to the usual awards at each level, the judge is asked
to select the Best Travel, People, Action, Landscape and Monochrome pictures
from the whole entry (i.e. all levels). One or more of these awards may well
go to an image that gains another award. The overall winner's trophy will be
presented for the best image in each competition at the AGM. The trophy will
be awarded for one of the 1st place images.
COMPETITIONS - RULES FOR ENTRIES
Projected Image Competitions –
Rules for Entry
1 Send an email with
your images as attachments to competitions@
bristolphoto.org.uk and put the name of the competition in the
subject line. When your images have been checked you will receive an email
with a detailed Submission Report. If you do not receive the Submission
Report, this may mean your images have not been received.
2 Submissions can only
be made by email and are not accepted on the night and cannot be made by CD,
flash drive or memory stick.
3 Images must not be
greater than 1600 pixels wide and 1200 pixels high, so note that Portrait
format images must not be more than 1200 pixels high.
4 Send
the images as a JPG using the highest quality. (Other file types such as TIFF
or PSD will not be accepted).
5 The projector uses
the sRGB colour space and hence you should save the images using the sRGB
colour profile. Other profiles (such as Adobe98 or ProPhoto) may result in
incorrect display of the image.
6 Name each file you
enter in the following pattern:
1) 01, 02, 03, etc to show order of preference.
2) Underscore (not a hyphen).
3) Title of the image (which can contain spaces and hyphens but
must not contain an underscore).
4) Underscore (not a hyphen).
5) Your Membership Number (If you do not know your number it can
be found on your membership card or at the top of your weekly “BPS In Focus”
newsletter).
6) W (Club); or X (Intermediates); or Z (Advanced); or Y
(Nature) (this latter useable only for the annual PI competition) showing the
level for the entry.
Note: there can only be two underscores in the file name, one on
each side of the image title. Spaces are to be used only within the image
title.
As an example: 01_Morning Light_50W.jpg where number 01 is your
first choice for order of preference, the image title is “Morning Light”,
your membership number is 50 and ‘W’, denotes your level. There is an
underscore between your entry order choice and the title, and there is an
underscore between the title and your membership details.
The following is an entry example for the annual PI competition
and shows two entries (amongst the total four allowed) in the Nature section:
01_Duck_296Y.jpg, 02_Seascape_296Z.jpg, 03_Bird of Prey_296Y.
jpg, 04_Volley_296Z.jpg.
7 Please be aware that
the images are processed automatically. Once the e-mailed images have been
loaded into the competition software it will reject unacceptable images. The
most common reasons are for being oversize (but note that undersize images
are accepted), and for image filenames that are not as specified above, for
example the filename contains a space outside the image title. Rejected
images are reported in the submission report that you will receive
8 The same
specifications are to be used when you are submitting images for
consideration for other competitions (such as the Inter Club). Although these
images need a title and membership number, the sequence number, first
underscore and class identifier are ignored and can be omitted. Be sure to
put the competition name in the subject line of your email.
