ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Competition Guidelines are described and/or defined in the documents “Grand Photos Competition Guidelines for 2024” and “Grand Photos Competition Category Definitions for 2024” published on our website at www.grandphotos.org . Your entry to this competition attests that you have read and understand these guidelines and that all your entries adhere to them.

Image format & size: Images must be submitted as .jpg files.
The maximum pixel dimensions for this Grand Photos competition is 1400 pixels (in the horizontal direction) x 1050 pixels (in the vertical direction), including any borders or strokes. (Remember - the width and height maximums are NOT interchangeable.) The maximum file size for digital image entries is 1.5 MB.

Naming information - Keep in mind that each image has an "image title" and a "file name". The entry page asks that you enter your image title for each image that you enter.  The entry page then asks you to choose (locate) the image on your computer, at which time the file name, and its location, are automatically recorded on the entry page.  When you submit your images, your image title becomes associated with your image. However, the file name is automatically changed in accordance with the system's file naming convention. Therefore you no longer have  to rename your files in accordance with any naming convention.

Note: Your entry gives Grand Photos permission to display your image on its website and/or in a Grand Photos newsletter if it wins any award.

A workshop will be conducted during the Fall of 2023 to assist members with sizing of images and entering them in the competition.  Dennis Hilgar, Digital Chair, is available at Dennis Hilgar to answer any questions which you may have along the way.
