GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING PHOTOS

• Photo Media:  Photos must be submitted on CD/DVD media.  We cannot guarantee return of the media (although we will try).  To increase the possibility of returning the media, include a self-addressed and postage-paid return envelope.

• Select The Photos:  Provide only good quality and properly exposed photos.
  Please submit only 1 photo of the same subject.

• Captions:  If captions are desired, you may add the captions to the photo using most photo-editing software.

• Sort Photos:  Select only the photos that you want on the site.  Weed-out the ones that you don’t want.

• Limit Quantity:  Submit up to 100 photos per event.
  If multiple members submit photos for the same event, the Event Chairperson will determine which photos are posted.

• Pre-size the photos:  Photos can be no wider than 600 pixels (landscape) or no taller than 600 pixels (portrait) (including captions).  ----This is no longer required ---

• File Format:  All photos must be in one of the following file formats … JPG, GIF or PNG.  Other formats will not be accepted.

• No Thumbnails Required:  A thumbnail for each of the photos is not needed.  Thumbnails are generated automatically by the web authoring software.

• Organize Photos: Place the photos in a directory that describes the event (e.g., Armed Forces Day 2010, Field Day 2010, etc.).

• Name Photos:  The photos must have a file name that contains only lower case letters and numerals.  The photos must be named in the numerical/alphabetical order in which you want them to appear.

• Submit Photos:  Submit photos to theZWebmaster.  Submitting photos to anyone else may delay the posting on the website. Photos can be submitted via U.S. Postal Service or at club meetings. 
  TheZWebmaster’s mailing address can be found in the current Member Directory.
