Brief rules for WCC Competitions

(Comprehensive Competition Rules may be found here. )

Number of Entries

For each competition, members may submit up to three images in total. Only one image can be a digital image for projection (PROJIM) and/or up to two print images (PRINTIM).

Format

Prints

Following judging, prints will be displayed during the competition meeting in the clubrooms.

To ensure prints can be delivered to judges and displayed satisfactorily they must be mounted, and preferably matted.

Unmounted photographs can not be accepted.

• maximum size of prints is 500 x 400 mm including mounts.  (In other words, the mount may not be bigger than 500mm x 400mm)
• minimum size of printed images is 175 X 125 mm

(Hints on how to prepare images for entry can be found here)

Projected (Digital) Images

Digital Images will be displayed on the projector in the clubrooms.

To ensure projected images are displayed correctly they must be:

• saved in JPEG format
• encoded in the sRGB colour space
• resized so they are 1920px on the longest edge.

To ensure that your image displays as you intend it, you are advised to resize it to the native resolution of the projector used by the club: that is 1920 pixels wide, by 1200 pixels high and the image file size should be less than 20Mb.

Identifying Images for Judging

All images submitted to competitions must be clearly identified and digital versions uploaded into the club’s competition system.

Prints must be clearly labelled on the back with the entrant’s membership number, and a title.

e.g. 567 Summer Days

Projected images will be uploaded to the club’s competition system, and you will be asked to provide a title.

The entrant’s name must not appear anywhere.
