CHOOSING YOUR AWARD
PHOTOS
For each award winner, you'll need to
upload 2 good
photos.
You'll do this via the photo-upload form. You'll have the opportunity
to confirm/change your photos before submitting them, but it's a
good idea to have your award-winner's photos all picked out before you
start the entry process.
PHOTO REQUIREMENTS
FOR ALL AWARDS:
- Your image must be
a
JPG, PNG or GIF file.
- If possible, your photo should be
at least 400 px
wide/tall, and preferably larger. (Bigger is definitely better!)
- Please, no files larger than 5 MB.
- If possible,
we'll need two photos for each award:
one in vertical ("portrait") orientation and one in horizontal
("landscape") orientation.
- Photo should be
in focus with a
clutter-free background.
- The winner should
be alone in the photo.
- If possible, the
winner's age in the photo should be appropriate for the award
category (i.e. please don't upload a kitten photo for a top Alter
win, unless you absolutely don't have any other photos of that cat).
- Junior Exhibitor photos may be provided by
parent/guardian only. (Uploaded JE photos will appear in
all award presentations and on the TICA NW Winners website.)
PHOTO ORIENTATION (VERTICAL / HORIZONTAL)
- If possible, please provide
both a vertical ("portrait") and
horizontal ("landscape") photo of your winner. (This gives
us more flexibility when laying out the award booklet, award
Powerpoint presentation and winners' website.)
- For most awards, a vertical photo
will work best (but please send a horizontal photo as
well).
- For a "Best in Category" award (Best Cat,
Best Kitten, etc.), we really need both
a good horizontal and a good vertical photo. Based on past years,
we'll use the horizontal one for the website and the Powerpoint
awards presentation, and the vertical one in the awards booklet.
