RULES FOR DIGITAL IMAGES

  1. ​Images must be in JPEG format.
  2. Image size must be no wider than 1,600 pixels.
  3. Image size must be no higher than 1,200 pixels.
  4. File size must not exceed 2048kb (2 Mb).
  5. The file name, for competitions, must contain only the TITLE and MEMBERSHIP NUMBER in the format:-​
IMAGE TITLE - MEMBER NUMBER.jpg
 
for example:-

EXAMPLES OF MAXIMUM IMAGE SIZES:-
The maximum image size is 1600 pixels wide and 1200 pixles high.
In the examples shown above, A, B and C are less than 1600 pixles - this means the image does not need to be as wide as the maximum (1600 pixles).
Also in the examples, X, Y and Z are less than 1200 pixles - this means the image does not need to be as high as the maximum (1200 pixles).

For example, entering a square or a letter box image may mean the diemensions are smaller than the maximum!
