Re-Sizing and Titling your digital images for Club Competitions

Digital images for competitions must be submitted as jpeg files sized with maximum dimensions width 1400 x height 1050 pixels. If your image is not exactly 1400 x 1050 pixels the club software will fill the height or width dimension with black to make it the correct proportion.
