NJFCC PICTORIAL PROJECTED IMAGES

As of the 2006-2007 season the NJFCC Pictorial Slide Division is opening all of the competitions to both slide and digital entries.

All Pictorial entries, whether slides or digital files, will be referred to as "images".

  • For the Interclub Competitions (Fall and Spring) each club will be allowed to enter 18 images ­ max of 3 per maker. Each maker may submit all digital files, all slides, or some of each.
  • Tops in NJ and Travel Competition will continue to allow unlimited per club entries; with a max of 1 per maker for Tops (slide or digital) and up to 3 per maker (slide, digital, or both) for Travel. Please refer to Housekeeping below for Travel guidelines (or the Competition Flyer on the NJFCC website).
  • Clubs entering digital image entries must mail a CD of your entries to the image chair with the entry form and fee, as with previous slide submissions. All entries must be submitted by the club's Pictorial Image Chair. The chairperson will not be accepting digital images via e-mail
  • Digital Requirements:
    A: File Size: longest edge must equal 768 pixels
    B: Resolution: approximately 102 ppi (see file size)
    C: Save as Format: TIFF or JPG
    D: Description: SRGB color space or profile
  • In Photoshop:
    E: Constrain proportions ­ checked
    F: Resample Images Bicubic ­ checked
    G: no Alpha Channels; ICC Profile checked; no Image Compression; IBM PC byte order

Note: The following info is intended for the MCC Image chairperson

The entry forms are available in Electronic Format on the NJFCC website: http://www.njfcc.org/competitions.htm - see "Pictorial Slides Entry Blank" (a paper copy will be mailed to any club that does not have access to e-mail)
o Only one entry form (no additional copies required) should be included with your submissions. Preferred method is to complete the form in Word (more legible), print and mail with your slides and/or image CD's.
o Also, please be kind and put each individual's entries in succession on the form (i.e., do not mix them up throughout the entry form) ­ they will be re-sorted when they are set up for the competition; 2 slides from the same maker will never be viewed in succession in a competition (this makes it easier for me to check the max number of entries per maker).
o As always, please do not forget to include proper postage and a return package so I can return your slides. NOTE: If your club is submitting digital only, the chair should mail the CD, with the entry form, and fee, but only include a SASE (business size) so the ribbons can be mailed back. In the event that your club does not receive any ribbons for that competition, I will retain the envelope for the next competition (you will not have to send another SASE for the next competition).
´ Fee for entering each of the Pictorial Slides competition are the same as the previous year: $7.00 per competition
´ Still No Cross-Pollination! J If a slide and/or print was submitted in one form of competition, it can not be re-submitted in another; e.g. if entered in a NJFCC Nature slide competition, it (or a close duplication of it) can not be resubmitted into the Pictorial (nor reprinted for a Print competition) competition. This will be on the honor-system, but if it should be brought to our attention, we will have to disqualify the entry / award.
´ If you have any questions regarding the new competitions, please do not hesitate to drop me a line or call.
