Club Competition Rules...Season 2008 -2009


How to submit images for Digital Projection:

The competition rules, under 'How to enter, point 6', states: "Digital images should be less than 1MB per jpeg and not exceed 1024x768." Why is this? The purpose of this 'rule' is to ensure that everyone submits digital images of the same standard and also that entries can be submitted to the Competitions Secretary by email. But let's look at each area individually:

  • Why less than 1 MB in file size? This is because we want to allow members to be able to email their submissions to the Competitions Secretary.
  • Why in jpeg format? This is because jpegs are much smaller in file size than TIFF's or BMP file formats. Again this allows for email entries.
  • Why this resolution of pixel size? Simply because the club projector, projects images from a laptop at at maximum of 1024 by 768 pixels at 72dpi.

Therefore, to submit images for digital projection they should be prepared in jpeg, at a maximum of 1024x768, and not exceed 1MB. If you need help with this, please come along on a Wednesday evening and someone from the 'Wednesday Club' will show you how. Bring your images on CDROM or USB Memory.
