Photo Guidelines

  1. ASPECT RATIO: Photos should be taken horizontally
  2. RESOLUTION: Photos should be a minimum of approximately 3600 pixels x 2900 pixels. File size should be at least 2.5 - 3 MB.
  3. FORMAT: Photos in RAW format are preferable, but JPEG photos are fine.
  4. EDITING: Please send your original, unedited photos.

Tips

  1. Clean your camera or phone lens to ensure the sharpest image
  2. Get close to your subject and fill the frame when taking your image - this will provide a higher resolution image compared to cropping a section out of a larger photo
  3. Send the original copy of your photo that has been saved to your device or the cloud - images that have been uploaded to social media will be downsized and not suitable for printing
