Preparing Prints for Salons

• All Prints shall be the result of an initial exposure by the member.
  Images may be captured either using a digital camera or scanned from slides or negatives.

• Entries with a member’s name or other image-maker identification on the image,
  such as Copyright Watermark, etc., will be disqualified.

• Prints may be entered in the following categories:
  Print Open (PO), Print Monochrome (PM), Print Topic (PT) or Print Critique Only (PCR),
  but are limited to a maximum of three images total per member per salon.

• Print size minimum – 3″x5″ on an 8×10 backing. 

• Print size maximum – 16″x20″ (including the backing)Prints must be mounted on a rigid backing so they will stand up on their own.

• The Member Number, Title and Category (PO, PM, PT, or PCR information will be posted on the TOP LEFT corner on the back of the print.

• The 16×20 size rule applies whether the image has a landscape or a portrait orientation. This means that the longer side can be no more than 20″ and the shorter side no more than 16″.

• The TOP LEFT rule is because sometimes it’s hard to tell what the correct orientation is for the image.
