Image Size Examples
This is the preferred size of JPEG format images to send in for judging in the photo contest. While some variation is fine, images that are significantly smaller make judging difficult. Images that are significantly larger can exceed email attachment limits. Our attachment limit per email is 20 megabytes, yours may be less.
This is the required minimum size of TIFF format or high quality JPEG format images needed from the winning photographers for printing on the front and back covers of the
Oregon Blue Book.
