New competition maxium image size is 2880 pixels Wide and 1920 pixels High.

Each month a member may submit up to two images, with no more than one image per category.

Rule: Maximum image size may not exceed 2880 pixels on the horizontal or 1920 pixels on the vertical. The minimum image size may not be less than 800 pixels on the longest side.

Landscape images may have a long edge of up to 2880 pixels or less. When using certain aspect ratios, exporting a landscape long edge of 2880 pixels may exceed the maximum vertical size of 1920 pixels. If the image exceeds 1920 pixels vertically change the export to short edge to 1920 pixels.

Portrait or Square images can be exported with a long edge of 1920 pixels or less.

Lightroom export setting Image Size By selecting Width & Height and setting measurement to Pixels the exported image will automatically establish the largest image possible without exceeding either dimension constraints of 2880×1920.

Always use an image viewer to check exported image size and quality.

Images with significant cropping may result in an export less than the maximum size. Smaller images are allowed unless the long edge is less than 800 pixels. If an image is too small there are two options. The first option is to crop less of the image making it larger. The second option is to uncheck the Don’t Enlarge box and see if the resized image is acceptable. The export image size can be reduced to achieve the best result possible.

The competition site will reject uploaded images not meeting required dimensions. The image size remains at a maximum of 3MB.  If the image is too large under the export files settings reduce the quality level slider and export again.  Uploading two large images at the same time may result in a 3MB overage error, if so upload them individually.
