” Individuals will be notified which photos were selected via a group email announcement.
” Submissions – Each person may submit up to five (5) images for consideration ). About 50 – 60 photos will be chosen for participation. Deadline for submission is July 20th to Auguest 3rd up to midnight. Selections will be announced on Tuesday, August 18th.

” Pick Up – Unsold pieces must be picked up at Maple Knoll: November 2nd – 3rd, 9am-4:30pm or by appointment. Any prints left will be donated to charity.
” All photos must have hanging hardware of some sort when delivered (sawtooth hangers are acceptable). Attach a small label with your name and the title of the work and contact information somewhere on the back of each work. Also, you MUST fill out an entry form which MUST accompany each work in the exhibit. You will be notified where to download a copy of that form at a later date, so keep an eye on the event page for this exhibition.

HOW TO POST SUBMISSIONS:
” Please post your entries to the following website link: https://ovcc2.smugmug.com/upload/SRGnLH/ExhibitatMk2020
” Upload your photo without digital matting, framing or personal watermark. Images will be watermarked by the club during their stay on the SmugMug site. They will be viewable there only in large format and will have right click disabled.
” You do not have to upload large files to the site for consideration. Try to keep your file sizes reasonable. 1400 pixels on the long side is more than enough for consideration of acceptance. Your print is what you are selling, not the digital file. So, try and keep them under 8MB.
” SAVE your image in jpg format and title with Your Name, Title of Piece, Type of Medium, Outside Finished Dimensions of the Piece, Price, Your Email and Phone before uploading. Any image without contact information will not be considered and deleted from the Gallery. If you are already a Smug Mug User, be sure to log out of your own account before trying to post in OVCC’S account.

” Pricing information:
It’s important to consider your costs and the Maple Knoll cut when pricing your images. You should be able to profit a minimum of 10 to 30% after all the expenses to produce your work, including the Maple Knoll cut. This year it is 30%. Make sure you add at least 40% to the price, over and above what it cost you to produce the work.
