Submission Requirements:
- Export/Save your images in JPEG, sRGB, 80% quality, no larger than 1920 px wide x 1080 px high, and a 1.5 MB file size limit.
- Submit your photos on the website at: Competitions > Submit Images For Print or Projection OR click here
- Please capitalize each word in your photo titles & check your spelling. The public will see your mistakes and we can’t correct them for you.
- DO NOT include your name or the file name in the photo titles. The automated features of this new website will automatically insert your name into the proper place.
- DO NOT include "For Comment" or "Not For Comment" in the title of your photos. The website will keep track of the options you choose.
Your photos will be automatically placed into your private Image Library for future reference and use including submitting them to the Annual Division Competition, and PSA competitions! You will also be able to read all the helpful, educational critiques from our members.
Winning photos will be placed in the Home Page slideshow with permission of the owner. If you do NOT want your winning photos included in the slideshow, please contact Cheryl Thielhorn through the website email message system. For more projection information and competition rules, click here.
Some Rules to Keep In Mind:
- You may submit a photo only once to either a Projection Competition or to a Print Competition--not to both competitions. If you make substantial changes, and you want to re-submit your photo, you must re-submit it to the same competition it was submitted to the first time. You can't submit a photo to a Projection Competition, make substantial changes, and then submit it to a Print Competition, and vice versa. No crossing over from one competition to the other. This applies to both the Open (subject) competitions and the Theme (specific subject) competitions. Check your Image Library or Image History so you don't accidentally re-submit photos: Membership > My Account > My Image History or My Image Library. You will see all of the photos you have submitted to all competitions since September 2022.
- The TPS is a club member of PSA; however, we do NOT compete according to PSA rules such as no signs of "hand of man" in nature/wildlife photos. You are allowed/expected to remove distracting objects from all photos including nature/wildlife photos. It's your choice to delete distracting objects in photojournalism photos or not (sports, events, rodeos, etc.).
If you are not a member of the TPS and would like to start competing in Print and Projection Competitions, join the TPS by clicking here. We hope to see your photos in our competitions and meet you at our two Projection and Print meetings.
