Guidelines for Colour and Monochrome Print entries

These boards are sold in the club prior to competition hand in nights.
When Mounting your print spray or paste the back of THE PRINT before sticking it to mount board as opposed to spraying or pasting the Mount Board as this will help prevent prints sticking together when packed in boxes for judging.
Mark clearly on the label provided, your competition grading and three digit competition number, the media category and where applicable the print title.

To enable the competition secretary to standardize the collection of digital images, each member will use a USB flash drive which must be clearly marked with your grade and competition number. You will use this flash drive at all times to store and then transfer your images to the club laptop.
To facilitate the speedy collection of electronic entries on” hand in night”. CDs, CF, Cards, memory sticks etc other than USB will not be accepted under any circumstances.
Images must be saved on your USB flash drive as JPG format only at the highest resolution possible. Minimum resolution accepted will be 1024×768 pixels.
Files must be named as follows XYYY.jpg where X corresponds to your grade (N for Novice, I for
Intermediate, A for advanced and P for Premier) and YYY corresponds to your 3 digit club competition number. For example, club member 147, who is an advanced photographer, will name his/her file A147.jpg
The image file must be the only file on the USB key and must be in the root folder of the key. It must not be stored within subfolders on the key
Due to the overhead involved in collecting digital entries, any images which do not comply with the above rules, will not be accepted for entry to that competition.
