Please remember these three main tips:
1. Presentation: When you are putting together your presentation, pretend that it will end up in a binder that is handed to the judges. This is all the judges see! Then, instead of the binder, you will save it in a PDF format and upload it to the site.
2. Forms: Be sure to have your entry documents (Homeowner's Affidavit and Photographer's Release) signed and saved to a PDF. This will be uploaded during the process. The judges do not see these!
3. Photos: From your project photos, pick at least 1 before and 1 after shot that you want used in your PowerPoint presentation and after-event promotions. The online platform requires you upload at least 10 (there is room for 30) so be sure your favorites are the first you upload so we know which shot to use (we reserve the right to select another if it shows better in a presentation). The judges do not see these!
