I think you mean the theme for "January, 2015", not "November, 2015"?

What is web-friendly resolution?

According to the rules, this size is preferred.

The photo dimensions must be between 300x300 and 1400x1200 pixels (WxH)

Wow another contest - excellent ! (I'll probably loose but heck why not to try ;-)

Anyway my question is : are film photos also allowed ? Of course with Pentax film camera but just wondering if I should go through my negatives from last year or only digital files ?

Cheers

I'm *assuming* this since this contest is called "Best of 2014" any photos that are entered have to have been taken in 2014???? True?

photolady95 · 01-03-2015, 04:50 PM

Of course, or the title wouldn't make any sense.

Thank you!

One more question: are panoramic pictures (stitched several photos) acceptable, or just a single one is valid?

+1 for this - although I don't do much stitching I do have few composite images done with film so also curious if these are allowed .

I think Adam needs to answer this question.
