Competitions

Welcome to the BSoUP upload facility to enter the Society's competitions.

If you are familiar with the process, you might have noticed that this screen has changed. A number of members have commented that the 1 image vs 2 images choice on the form was quite confusing so we have split the process into 2 steps.

In the first step, you will enter your name and email address and will tell us how many images you are planning to enter. In the second step, you will then upload your images. Simpler ? Well, let us know what you think.

Next competition: Focus On Macro

Deadline to enter images: 16 June 2009 at 10pm.
Maximum No of entries per participant: ONE.

• Please read the rules below !
• Due to the potential high number of entries we can expect, we have decided to limit the number of entries to one per member this month. You can submit your entry either in 1024x768 or 1400x1050 format.
• Each portfolio/image should be saved as one JPG image no bigger than 1400 pixels wide x 1050 pixels high.
• The file size no greater than 1MB
• Image manipulation is allowed, but bear in mind that this is an underwater photography competition, not a Photoshop creativity competition.
• You can send your images several times, but we will only keep your latest entry. If you are a forum member (and fully paid-up BSoUP member), you will be able to log-in and change your entry up until the deadline.

Good luck !
