How to Submit an Entry
Email your digital images to Brian Parsons () by 8 p.m. on Monday, November 7, 2022. No entries will be accepted after this deadline. Brian will try to confirm receipt of all photos by return email. If you do not get confirmation within 48 hours, it is possible that your email has gone astray or Brian is just busy, so please resend or be patient as it might take another day or two!
File Naming — This is Important!
Use the following naming convention for your digital photos:
Category abbreviation-yourname-caption
For example: Phee Hudson’s entry in the Mountain Scenery (MS) category would be named:
Please no commas, special characters, @, * and especially no periods in the file name (except right before the extension). For example: Mt. Cain should be “MtCain” or “Mt_Cain”.
Image Size

To display effectively in the competition each image file should be within these two ranges:
Between 1280 x 1024 and 2048 x 1536 (4:3 ratio)
Or
