Re: 2007 Photo Contest

Hello Kitty, Since the deadline for the Photo Contest has been moved  
forward by two months, this will cause difficulty particularly for  
those who live in the northern parts of the country. A lot of people  
still have irises in bloom, and they need time for cleaning up and  
maintaining their gardens. Many of us haven't had a chance to sort  
and select pictures. Once pictures are selected they must be edited,  
sent out to be printed, and finally packed and mailed. It seems to me  
that a June 30 due date is very tight.
The entry form doesn't state how to identify each picture by  
category. What is your recommendation for making certain that  
pictures are entered in the right category?
If there is no writing or labeling on the back of a photo, how can  
the people who are handling the photos match them to the number on  
the entry form and sort them by category?
I don't know what you mean when you say that the pictures should be  
taken at 360 dpi or greater resolution. If a picture is intended for  
direct viewing by the judges, then the finished print should have a  
resolution of of approx. 300 dpi. What it takes to do that depends on  
your individual camera and the amount of cropping on the original  
image. Or are you planning to scan all the pictures first and have  
the judges view them on a monitor or projection screen?
