Photographs must be in digital format. Only entries sent via email will be eligible. No print or film submissions will be accepted for entry into this Contest. The photograph need not be taken with a digital camera; scans or photographic prints are acceptable. All digital files must be 5 megabytes or smaller, must be in JPEG or JPG format, 300 dpi resolution or higher, and must be at least 1,600 pixels wide (if a horizontal image) or 1,600 pixels tall (if a vertical image).
Photographs must have been taken within the three days of the CPI Horse Show, January 18, 2013 – January 20, 2013.
Cropping, minor burning (to darken highlights), dodging (to brighten shadows) and/or color correction is acceptable. The goal in using digital darkroom techniques should be to adjust the dynamic tonal range of an image so that it more closely resembles what you saw.
Stitched panoramas are acceptable only if the combined parts are all made around the same time. If your entry is a stitched image, please indicate this in the caption. (A stitched panorama is created from multiple images; each taken at a different angle from the same position, then combined using digital techniques. It results in a wider view than can be achieved with most wide-angle lenses.)
The photograph, in its entirety, must be a single work of original material taken by the Contest entrant. By entering the Contest, entrant represents, acknowledges, and warrants that the submitted photograph is an original work created solely by the entrant, and that no other party has any right, title, claim, or interest in the photograph.
