Digital Competition Information
File Type
All images will be submitted as jpeg files.
Image Size Limitations
The maximum size for an image is dictated by the projection equipment and is 1400 pixels wide by 1050 pixels high. Note that vertical format images must still ad to the 1050 pixel height maximum.
Resolution
We now recommend your jpeg images be 127 pixels per inch (PPI sometimes called dots per inch or DPI) or less (e.g., 127, 96 or 72 PPI) for best results with the competition projection program.
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 above. Click on the upload 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.
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.
