Tips for the Best Photographs for the Contest
Photos should be sent with a "landscape" orientation, not "portait" as this will
not work when the calendar is published.
Try to send the photos in the original format if possible. Some photo email programs
will reduce the image to save file attachment space which can cause the image to
be appear distorted or grainy. If your email provider or program will not allow
you to do this, then send them in 1600x1200 or 10" x 8" size format. This
should help preserve most of the image quality and make them suitable for printing
in the calendar. Here is some more information on resolution.
Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image. The more pixels your photo
has the more clarity and detail it will retain as you increase its dimensions. Resolution
is sometimes expressed by the width and height of the image as well as the total
number of pixels it contains. For example, an image that is 1600 pixels wide and
1200 pixels high (1600 x 1200) contains 1,920,000 pixels-or almost two megapixels
(two million pixels). Most digital cameras offer a range of resolution settings.
It's a good idea to use a higher-quality setting if you plan on printing larger-than-wallet-sized
pictures. Here are some general guidelines: Photo for calendars 1600 x 1200 6MP-8MP
8" x 10" or larger
Make sure to preserve the aspect ratio
of your image if you are going to crop the image. Images that are not 1600x1200
or 8"x10" may get distorted when we go to resize them for printing in the calendar.
Photo Contest Rules
Voting will be begin online starting Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 and continue through midnight of October 15th, 2010.
Note: Paper ballots will be available for those individuals who wish to vote in person at the October's monthly club
dive meeting which will be on October 6th, 2010
New! The calendar will be composed of the top 12 voted photos from the contest. Each participant may only have up to *1* photo
in the calendar. In the event that a participant has more than 1 photo in the top 12, only the top voted photo will
be used. After which, the next remaining number of top rated photos will be used for the next set of pictures and so on
until the calendar requirements are completed. In the event that we do not have 12 participants, then the selection process will start over again with the
next top rated photograph allowing only 2 photos per photographer and so on until the calendar is filled. In the event that we have more than 12 participants, only the top 12 photos (1 per participant) will
be in the calendar.
The top 3 voted photographers will be recognized for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. A photographer cannot be recognized for more
than 1 place. In the event of a tie, the board will decide on how the places will be awarded.
All results from the photo contest will be announced at the annual Christmas party held in December.
All voting tabulations will made available to the board for review in the event any questions or issues that may arise.
