A brief comment on each of the 50 works selected for the exhibition.

Print quality will be evaluated by preview prints that may range in size from 8X10 to 12X16. Only prints smaller than 8X10 may be submitted if they are the actual size of the work. Composition and artistic merit will be evaluated by high resolution digital images. Generate a digital file of each image at a resolution of 300 ppi, with the longest dimension being 1900 pixels. Save the file in JPG format, at the maximum quality level, where the final image size is not larger than 2.0MB. Label each file with the last name, first initial, and the number corresponding to the entry number (e.g. SmithJ1).
