How to post pictures for the contest

[Alfredo Mateus <almateus@globalsite.com.br>]

Hi all,

I found a way to have the images posted. We will just have to use the
Plugin Head conference. The address is:

http://www.i-us.com/plughead.htm

Follow the thread The First FF Imaging Contest. 
I will repeat the message there here. The instructions on how to post
are at the bottom.

Comments or any trouble posting, just drop me a note. The contest is
open, I will give some time for the posting and then open it for voting.

The contest will be open to anybody who wants to participate.
Participants can submit up to three entries. Images should be sent in
JPEG format with size no larger than
640x480, 72 dpi resolution and the smallest file size possible. The use
of applications to compress the
image while retaining quality is encouraged. 

There will be two categories:

- Best Image from Scratch

Image should be created mainly with the use of Filter Factory plugins,
starting from a white canvas.
Other tools present in plugin hosts like photoshop and PSP are allowed,
with the exception of
commercial plugins (KPT, Eye Candy, etc.).

- Best Image Manipulation

Image should be altered mainly with the use of Filter Factory plugins.
Other tools present in plugin hosts
like photoshop and PSP are allowed, with the exception of commercial
plugins (KPT, Eye Candy, etc.).

domain.
