Additional Submission Information

• Entries must include at least two separate professional quality color prints showing the associated project or person(s) nominated. You can provide your photograph as a print or an electronic file.

The ideal size specifications are: 300 dpi (dots-per-inch or pixels-per-inch) and/or at least 4-inches by 6-inches. If your image is not this big, send it anyway, but understand that it may not be usable. These electronic specifications will make a very large file, and you must put it on a CD. Our email system can not accept a file larger than 3 MG.
