Prepare your images -- the best quality and as large as you can.
Go to your CGSociety Portfolio, or register if you don't already have one.
Upload your images.
Make sure your account has a real name and postal address.
Make sure you have selected categories for your images.
Submit your images for entry in EXPOSÉ 12.
IMAGE SIZE
Your image can be any size you want, but if it's not big enough to print then it won't get selected. Many images don't get printed full page. If you want your images to be considered for full page entries, -- and for the awards, then these are the minimum sizes:
For a single page: (297mm x 220mm) 3579px x 2669px.
For a full 2 page spread : (297mm x 440mm) 3579 x 5268px
Upload images as maximum quality JPG images -- RGB only.
Your images can be a little bit larger than these dimensions if you want.
You will need to upload your image as a JPEG file. Uncompressed images will be too large to upload.
These are given as guidelines. To be safe, render images that are larger than these specified. DO NOT up-sample your images to achieve higher resolution. If you cannot reach the desired full-page resolution, just send in what you have.
COPYRIGHT
Images must be your own work. If your image was created for someone else (like your employer) then you need to make sure you have their permission to enter it. We suggest you get permission in writing if you don't own the copyright any more. You don't need to provide us with a copy of any permissions, but we do ask that you warrant that the image is yours or that you have obtained permission to enter it.
CAPTIONS
All entries must be accompanied by your real name, your country of residence, a description of the image, and the software used. Details are on the entry form. This information is included in the books: the software we use and the makers of the software deserve a credit in the book.
IMAGE FORMAT
You will need to upload your image as an RGB JPEG file. Make sure to use the highest quality setting -- the least compression. Uncompressed images will be too large to upload.
We used to require uncompressed images. JPEG quality has improved and there is no perceptible loss if you use the highest quality settings.
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES
Midnight, July 31st, 2016 -- wherever you are in the world.
DON'T wait for the last minute to upload your images. There is always a rush on the last weekend and upload speeds may be slow if you leave it too late.
Selection starts immediately after entries close.
WHAT IF YOU DO GET IN?
We'll inform you by email if your work has been accepted for publication before printing. We will ask you to confirm your information: your correct name, image details and postal address if you get in. You will need to respond quickly or you may miss out.
