Here are answers to some of the questions that have been asked about entries into this year’s Projected Images competition.

• The maximum resolution of a digital image is 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 pixels vertically. The file size is unimportant, but exceeding this image size would cause it to be cropped when displayed, hence the limitation.
• The image shouldn’t contain any identification of the author, otherwise it’s not possible to judge anonymously. Including titles is a matter of taste, although currently perceived good taste (depending on who you ask, of course!) is that titles tend to detract from the image itself.
• When titling the file, please include your competition number rather than your name, as this will ensure anonymity and speed up processing the files
• Images can be submitted in a variety of formats - in order of preference, these are DVD or CD, memory stick, or (preferably not) 3.5″ floppy disk. While floppy disk isn’t the end of the world, it does mean digging a floppy drive-equipped PC out of the garage, so other formats are preferred!
• The files must be in jpeg format - the compression/quality setting is left to your discretion. To get the best from the colour, I’d recommend using the sRGB colour space where possible, as this is how our projector is calibrated - and it’ll also get the best from them when they’re posted here on the website.

The full set of competition rules can be found here, but please ask if you’ve got any questions that remain unanswered.

As a reminder, competition entries are due next Wednesday 10th January.
