THE NITTY GRITTY - RULES AND REGS (updated June 22, 2013)

The following are a list of simple guidelines that must be followed in order to submit a monthly entry.  These are designed specifically to nurture you into a more polished, well-rounded photographer, as well as promote seamless simple judging.

1. Each participant must submit a digital copy of your work to :

glassburners@enterthedarkroom.com

The digital file should be set to 72 dpi and should be no larger than 1280 pixels wide.

Digital files will be displayed on our blog site for all members and non- members to view. The winner for each month will have their photograph displayed as the banner for the following month.

2. Name Your Work. Each digital photo must contain the artists name and title of the work as the file name, as well as the subject line in your email submission. This greatly assists in the judging and print return process.

3. Prizes. At first, winning entries each month will be featured on the Glassburners blog and The Darkroom Photography and Design's website with credit to the artist and promotions for your company or personal website. Eventually we would like to offer print credits or sponsored prizes. This certainly is not a far-fetched goal.

4. Deadlines. A new challenge will be available on the Glassburners blog on the first of each month. Entries are due by the 25th of each month. Entries received after the deadline may or may not be displayed on the website, but will not be judged. Please keep in mind turn around time for digital prints as well as days when the Postal Service is not open for business. In-person drop offs are not accepted. Notifications and reminders will be available on Twitter and Facebook.


The Long and the Short of it:

Each entry needs to be submitted digitally via email. Each entry should contain the name of the artist and the name of the image. Winners get a prize. Don't miss deadlines. Easy peasy.
