Selection will be made from digital images only. Digital images may be e-mailed or sent on a CD to SouthWind Gallery. Artist must complete an Entry Form. Forms may be completed online and emailed or downloaded and mailed with the CD. Materials will not be returned.

• Submission is by DIGITAL FILE ONLY in JPEG format. Digital files may be generated by scanning, or high quality digital photography of the original art. Remember, this is the file from which your entries will be judged.

• An optimum file size of at least 5Megabytes is suggested as a guideline. The image should be no larger than 1600px by 1600px.

• Computer color correcting ONLY to accurately represent the original art in color, contrast, saturation, etc is acceptable.

• Files should be of full image only. Artwork should fill the image area of the digital file as completely as possible. Frame, mat, fingers, etc should not show in the digital image. Make the artwork the center of attention when it is shown on the large monitor for judging.
