All images must be submitted in JPEG format (file name extension .jpg) and RGB color mode. We recommend uploading files that are 72 pixels-per-inch (ppi) because a higher resolution does not add clarity to images that are being viewed on a computer screen. We recommend that you keep copies of your original images.

Image size: The image sizes below are recommendations. Your image sizes may be different.

• Landscape orientation (h x w):
• Recommended maximum size: 530 x 780 pixels (7.36 x 10.83 inches) 
• Recommended minimum size: 480 x 480 pixels (6.67 x 6.67 inches)


• Portrait orientation (h x w):
• Recommended maximum size: 780 x 530 pixels (10.83 x 7.36 inches) 
• Recommended minimum size: 480 x 480 pixels (6.67 x 6.67 inches) 

Maximum file size: 3.0 MB per image. (Your image files will likely be considerably smaller than 3.0 MB.)

Contest

Over the weekend, I was contacted by Connie Price from Family Promise of Beaverton.  They are hosting a fundraiser in June to raise money for the homeless families in Beaverton.  There are more than 1300 children whose families are homeless in Beaverton.  The organizers of the event were hoping that we could have some high school students come up with a t-shirt design for the fundraiser.

The deadline for the design is April 24th.
