IMPORTANT Information About Photo Submission
Earlier this year we held the January Jump Start Challenge and tried something new with an online form where participants entered their information and uploaded photos directly on our site. This method helped us keep everything more organized. We are using the same form for this challenge as well.
Many people had trouble with the photo submission section due to having to resize and name the photos properly. This is VERY important. Your photos are how Teresa will choose winners, so we need to make sure that yours are accurate, clear and the right size. Please refer to the
Photograph Rules for complete details.
Make sure your images are resized to be less than 200KB using the photo resizing tool on the entry page.The server can't handle really large photos, so if you are having a problem processing this form or receive a username/password prompt your file size may be exceeding the maximum allowed. Please use the file size tool provided in the photo instructions to reduce your file size and try again.
Last time some tried resizing the images themselves and sometimes it worked, but sometimes the images were way too small and we had to ask for resubmission. So PLEASE use the tool that is linked from the site to size your images correctly. (See Below.) Also PLEASE keep all your original photos so that if we need them resubmitted you have them on file.
How to Use the Handy Photo Resizing ToolUse THIS TOOL to resize your pictures and then:1. Browse and select the image from your computer.
2. Select "Custom 1000px" for image size.
3. Skip Step 3.
4. Select "Better" for image quality to stay under 200k.
5. Click Resize.
6. Click on the link "Download this picture Now".
7. A Save As Box will pop up. Save the file to a place on your computer, like your desktop, where you can find the file easily.
8. Rename the photographs according to the Photograph Rules.
It's VERY important that this is done correctly. If you have any trouble with this function you may contact Kitty directly at
kitala@aol.com.
We know this is an extra step and really appreciate your understanding.
