Important
note regarding prints for 2020 - 21 season due to COVID 19
For the ‘print’ competitions (Mono and Colour) a digital
image will be submitted instead. Any digital images judged as
prints that are awarded a ‘Star’, entrants will be
requested to have the images printed and mounted for the Interclub
Top Print Competition at year end i.e. May 2021.
These
proposals are designed to reduce the need for print handling /
conveyance in the current climate, and, at the same time retain
the integrity of the competition process until a return to normal
business.
PDIs: Must be in jpeg format and sRGB colour space.
Sized to a maximum of 1600 pixels wide and a maximum of 1200 pixels
high.
N.B. Tutorials on resizing images for PDIs
