Wednesday is the closing date of Round 3 of the Projected Image Competition which is being judged by Adrian Herring ARPS DPAGB, Vice Chairman of Kingswood Photographic Society. I have reproduced the entry rules below:
BPS Digital Competition Rules
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. This email is not automatically sent, so please be patient as it will not be sent until Jeff processes your entry.
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. Please be aware that the images are handled automatically by the competition software and the software will reject incorrect images (too large or wrong naming pattern)
4. Images must not be greater than 1400 pixels wide and 1050 pixels high - Note that Portrait format images must not be more than 1050 pixels high.
5. Save the images as a JPG using the highest quality. (Other file types such as TIFF or PSD will not be accepted).
6. 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.
7. Name each file you enter in the following pattern.
· 01, 02, 03, etc to show order of preference.
· underscore (not a hyphen)
· Title of the image (which can contain spaces and hyphens but must not contain underscore)
· underscore (not a hyphen)
· Your Membership Number (See below)
· W - (Beginners), X – (Intermediates) or Z – (Advanced) showing the Class for your entry
Y – Natural History (Annual PDI only)
Note: there are exactly two underscores in the file name - one on each side of the title.
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 class. Note - spaces are only to be used within the title - there is an underscore between the choice for entry and the title and there is an underscore between the title and your membership details.
8. The same specifications are to be used when you are submitting images for consideration for other competitions (such as the InterClub). 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.
