 THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO DIGITAL
SUBMISSIONS (those submitted by e'mail) Maximum Dimensions
Photos must not
exceed 1024 pixels on the longest side.
They may be smaller than that.
Photos shown with
the long dimension as a vertical photo will be somewhat smaller when shown
on a digital slideshow. (It is the nature of the computer.)
Resolution
Your
file must not exceed 120 ppi and MUST NOT exceed 1MB per photo
entered.
Format
Your file must be in the JPG Format. No other formats will be accepted
for entry.
File Names
Your Submissions must be named as
follows. No other names or variations will
be accepted.
>> First, use a three digit
number signifying whether it is your first or second submission for
the competition. (That is 001 or 002.)
>> Then use a dash (same as a
hyphen or a minus sign.)
>> Next insert a six digit number
that corresponds to your first, middle and last initials, where A = 01 and
Z = 26. For example, Betty Ann Palmer’s initials are BAP so her number would
be 020116, where 02 = B, 01 = A, and 16 = P. If you do not have a
middle name, use the numbers 00.
>> Then use another dash (same as
a hyphen or a minus sign.)
>> Next insert a four digit
number indication the month and year of the competition (mmyy). For
example, Sept. of 2006 would be 0906.
>> Then use another dash (same as
a hyphen or a minus sign.)
>> Finally, add the SHORT name of
the photo with no spaces in the name.
EXAMPLE OF A FILE NAME:
Betty Ann Palmer’s first digital photo for
the Sept. 2006 competition, which she names "Pretty Photo" would be named:
001-020116-0906-PrettyPhoto
Digital submissions must be
received
at least two weeks
before the meeting when they are to be judged. They may be brought to the
meeting the month before, or e'mailed to:
DigEntries@louisvillephotographic.org.
Entries not received by
the deadline (two weeks before the meeting at midnight) will not be accepted.
Note: Early submission applies to digital entries only. Prints and slides are brought
to the meetings and entered at that time. Be sure to fill out the
Entry Form at the meeting with the names of all your entries.
You must be a member of
LPS to enter any LPS competition. Membership applications can be
found through the link on the home page. You may also join at any
club meeting. See the home page for more information on when and
where the club meets.

Competitions are for members only, but membership is open to everyone.
Competitions are held monthly at the LPS meetings (second Wed. of the
month, 7:30 PM. See home page for directions to meeting location.)
The categories for the competitions for the year are decided upon by the
membership in the fall. Suggestions for categories should be
submitted to the Board of Directors at or before the October
meeting.
All prints (color, monochrome and novice,) should be mounted so that the
entry is 16" X 20", either horizontally or vertically.
Mats may be used to enhance the print, and there is no
restriction on the color of the mat, though some judges show a preference
for white. See the "Tips, Tricks and Tidbits" page for information
on how to mat your own photos. 
The same photo may not be entered in
more than one category on the day of a competition (i.e., if you enter a
color print, you may not also enter it as a monochrome print, and/or a digital
print on the same night.) “Same photo” means an identical
shot, - one having the same content and composition. An enlarged or
reduced copy may also not be entered on the same day.
In the event that a slide competition is offered (which it currently is
not,) all slides should be identified with the slide UPSIDE DOWN and the
non-emulsion (smooth) side showing. The name of the exhibitor should
be on the top of the mount, and the title of the
slide should be on the bottom. Additionally, there
should be a dot ( .
) on the upper right corner of the non-emulsion side of the slide. This
is to insure that the slide is inserted properly into the slide projector.
