PRINT COMPETITION
"DIGICOM"
JULY 23rd
Reminder:
July's competition will be an all digital print competition.
$3.00 for a Digital Print Critique
Send files to Jim Selkin. He and other Judges will critique your prints to help you get higher scores.
jzs529@earthlink.com
Due to the number of images submitted, PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY. Judging will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m., print registration begins at 7pm.
DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS should follow same size guidelines as prints: finished canvas 16x20; image not less than 11x14. Suggested at least 300 dpi.
Category winners will have to submit a 16x20 final print to be awarded the merit in October as well as for consideration as Photographer of the Year. Adjustments based on judges "suggestions" can then be applied for final printing. For those who do not merit and or want to increase their ultimate print score, adjustments will be a lot easier.
Files should be on thumb drive or DVD and can be in .psd; .tif or if you want .jpg format. They should be labeled with picture title, category and last name. Use underscores.
example: Bridge_to_Nowhere_landscape_Selkin.tif
Same $5.00 fee structure applies per entry
