For free-to-enter competitions you should enter 1 image per token given, upto a maximum of 8 images (8 tokens).
Entrants' images must be .jpg or .jpeg format and of high enough quality.
We recommend all images are output to 1920px on their longest side at 72 ppi. Any larger than this and you are supplying images bigger than they will be seen or used by IGPOTY judges; your files will take longer to upload and/or download to judges and viewers’ screens.

All entrants must be able to supply a high-res image (300dpi) suitable for printing/exhibiting should the image be shortlisted. You may be asked for this when the time comes. We can help you with this if need be.
