There is no limitation as to the number of images or series that may be submitted, or the number of categories to which the image is submitted. A series or portfolio is composed of a minimum of 5 images and a maximum of 8 images composing a coherent body of work.

Digital image files must meet the following specifications: 8 bit JPEG files (CMYK and 16 bits files will not be uploaded), the largest dimension should be 1280 pixels (width or height), resolution of 72 ppi, JPG compression quality of 7 or 8. Layers must be flattened. Images will be viewed by the jurors as RGB images; therefore Adobe RGB or SRGB profiles should be used. Image title may not exceed 40 characters. Please note that image title is the name of the artwork, not the file name. Image title is what the jurors will see when selecting the images.
