The next competition is 'Open - Printed', meaning you can submit anything you like in either mono or colour.
Since this a printed competition, you should save your images in TIF format (Ideally in ADOBE RGB 1998 Colour Space) and name them with your Level Number, Membership Number and Image Title: L2-001-Image title.tif e.g. L1-123-This is my image title and spaces are allowed.tif. There is an optional addition of three letters to choose alternative paper types (see the section on Paper Type below).
Note: JPEG files are acceptable, but the image quality will be somewhat lower.
As always, we encourage you (especially new members) to enter. The most significant benefit from entering is the feedback from independent judges to help you improve your photography.
For this competition, the club members will be judging the images (more on this later). For this reason, you can only submit one image. So get shooting, and we look forward to seeing a great selection of images.
This is a printed competition for all levels.
Printing Images
If you are printing your own, the deadline for hand-in is Monday, 28th April. Please bring the prints to the club and give them to either Lionel or Jean. You can also send Lionel a digital copy via WeTransfer (Do not upload the images to Dropbox).
For those of you printing via 360-dpi (Steve), the process has changed and hopefully will be less work. The upload is now to the same Dropbox as for Projection. The deadline for upload is Monday, 21st April, which is a week earlier than in previous newsletters.
The images uploaded to the Dropbox will be sent to Steve for printing. This means that by uploading the image to the Dropbox, you agree with your images being printed by Steve.
Payment
You will receive, by e-mail, a payment link from 360-dpi for the images you have submitted – with the names and paper type requested. Please pay shortly after receiving the link.
Paper Type
If you want your images on the standard Lustre paper there is no change for you.
If you wish to have a different paper type, you need to add three letters after your membership number in the file title. The payment line invoice you receive from Steve will indicate the price and paper requested.
If you don’t do this, the assumption is Lustre Paper.
Paper Type / Code / Price
Lustre / LUS / €13.51
Fine Art Pearl / FAP / €20.01
Photo Rag Matt / PRM / €20.01
For example, if you wish to have your images on Fine Art Pearl, you should name your file: L2-001-FAP-Image title.tif
If you omit these letters, the assumption is Lustre Paper.

Judging of the prints will be in the Club on Monday, 12th May. Please note that on this night, the judging will be done by the members themselves. More information on this will be provided in a later newsletter.
