Digital Competition Guidelines

File Type

All images will be submitted as jpeg files. Note we are not accepting jpeg2000 at this time.

Image Size Limitations

The maximum size for an image is dictated by the projection equipment and is 1024 pixels wide by 768 pixels high. Note that vertical format images must still adhere to the 768 pixel height maximum. The maximum file size is 1 Megabyte (1,048,576 bytes). Note that the image quality may need to be adjusted to bring the file size within the maximum. 

Color Space

For optimal viewing, the file workspace should be sRGB. (In Adobe Photoshop, use the "Convert to Profile" command under the Edit menu).

Submission Method

Images will be uploaded to the NVPS web site through the link above. Click on the upload link and follow the directions on the page. If an error has been made in the files uploaded, the member must contact the digital competition manager. As an alternative to uploading files, members may provide the Digital Competition Coordinator with a CD containing the files. Any CDs provided will be available on competition night for pick-up. Any not picked up will be discarded

Submission Deadline

Files must be uploaded or provided to the Digital Competition Coordinator by 6 PM of the Sunday preceding the competition.

File Naming Convention

There is no need to name your files a specific way.  The upload process will name the files such that they work with the competition process.
