*SLIDE SHOW SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

STEP 1: Choose up to 5 images from your catalog. Photographers should submit original photographs only without any advertising copy or extra graphics. Graphic designers may submit original “fine art” illustrations or photographs of printed branding packages. We cannot display ads or logos from your clients unless shown as a photograph of a printed piece.

STEP 2: Crop your images to 1600 x 1200 H (display size) If you are using vertical format images, we recommend you create a diptych (two vertical images side-by-side) so the finished slide fills a horizontal format. If you cannot create a diptych, place vertical or odd-cropped images on a BLACK background.

STEP 3: Add your logo and/or website address to the BOTTOM RIGHT corner of EVERY slide. Be sure to leave a little breathing room on the edges. Logos should be appx. 1/16 to 1/8 of the total slide size. (See example below) Consider making your logo transparent (optional).

STEP 4: Name your slides with last name, underscore, first name, underscore, sequence number. An example of this is: “DEJARLAIS_TODD_1” (You must use proper naming convention for inclusion)

STEP 5: Export your slides as 300 DPI JPG’s 1600 x1200 pixels high x 1600 pixels. The images will be displayed on a screen that is 9’ tall x 12’ wide.

STEP 6: Put your slides in a folder titled with last name, underscore, first name and compress into a ZIP file.

STEP 7: Mail your compressed ZIP folder to: SLIDES@THEHOUSESTUDIOS.COM - use your full name in the subject line of your email and include your contact information (only) in the body of the email.

The deadline for slide submissions is August 20th 2011

All guidelines above must be followed exactly for inclusion. Please submit only your copyright-owned images. Be sure the images you are submitting are of high quality. Slides that are heavily pixilated or have major unintentional technical flaws may not be included. Tasteful nudity is OK, pornography is not. Be sure you are happy with the your selections BEFORE sending them as we may not be able to remove your slides once submitted. By submitting your slides you authorize The House Studios to display them as we see fit on August 24th 2011. After the event, your slides will be deleted. ASPP and The House reserve the right to reject slides for any reason and cannot answer inquiries regarding this. Thank you for your understanding.
