ELECTRONICALLY DISPLAYED IMAGES (EDI) - 2012

 

In 2011 the EDI competition is integrated with the normal monthly competion and the Image of the Year competition.

ALL EDI ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA THE COPPERMINE GALLERY.

 

The RULES for the EDI competition for 2011 are set out below. (These rules should be read in conjunction with the full set of club competition rules.)

  1. The EDI section of the monthly competition has only one section that includes colour, monochrome, nature and altered reality.

  2. In the Image of the Year competition there are three EDI sections - open, nature, and altered reality.

  3. All images must be based on photographs taken by the member entering those images. The original photographs may be digital images or film images that have been scanned. It is permissible to have someone else scan your prints, negatives or slides if you do not have the equipment to do it yourself.

  4. There are no restrictions on adjustments or alterations to images (except in the nature section of the Image of the Year). Images may be cropped. Images may be composites (made up of several different original images) provided all images used in the composite were taken by the member entering the image.

  5. For the EDI sections of monthly competitions the entries must be submitted no later than the competition night of the month prior to the competion (for example, by 19th January for the February competition.

  6. All entires are to be submitted via the Coppermne gallery and they will be judged online.

  7. To make the judging equitable, all images must comply with the following requirements:
    • The maximum image size is 1024 pixels wide (horizontal) and 768 pixels high (vertical) when the image is viewed in its correct orientation.Please check these EXAMPLES so that you are sure you have your images the correct size.

    • The file format must be JPEG.

    • The maximum file size is 300 KB.

    • Images should be in the sRGB colour space.

    • Detailed instructions for getting files into the format, colour space and size specified here are available in a step-by-step tutorial with sample screen shots at this link.

     

     

    The image files must be named as follows

    xx - image name (Where xx is the Image Identification number emailed to you when you registered for Coppermine access, and "image name" is whatever you want to call your image.)

    When the file is uploaded you will be asked to enter a title and this must match the file name, as above, using xx- image name.

    Entries that do not comply with the above guidelines may be disqualified.

    Every reasonable effort will be made to check member entries prior to the closing of the EDI round so that they can be corrected and it is recommended that entries are uploaded at least 3 days before closing to allow this to occur.

     


    IMAGES THAT DO NOT MEET THESE REQUIRMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

    PLEASE READ THE COPPERMINE INSTRUCTIONS AND CHECK YOUR IMAGES BEFORE SUBMITTING THEM.

The images that you upload to Coppermine must ber included on your entry form for the relevant monthly competition - they count towards your quota of SIX mages for the month.

If you require any further information about EDI enties please contact Andrew Styan.

 
   

PLEASE NOTE

The maximum file size for images uploaded to EDI competitions on Coppermine (300KB) may be smaller than the file sizes allowed for other EDI competions that you are entering (such as national or international compeitions). Be sure to save a high quality version of your image so that you can resize it appropriatel;y for other competitions.
