Simple suggestions to ensure your entries are submitted at their best potential: Tip 1: Always set the camera image quality to the largest or best possible setting.All winners will have their photo printed in our calendar and each photo will be printed at approximately A4 size. This is about twice the size of a standard 6x4” photo as shown below.
Trying to enlarge a 6x4 photo to A4 size could result in a blurry or pixelated image and won’t be suitable for printing. The best way to prevent this from occurring is to always check your camera has the Image Quality set to the largest or best possible setting. (Refer to your camera’s user manual to learn where to do this). For best results, adjust the image quality to a setting higher than 2400 x 1600 pixels.Note: Adjusting the camera’s image quality to a high setting will mean the amount of photos you can store on the camera memory card will decrease, so ensure the card is empty or take a spare memory card in case you run out of room.
Tip 2: Take photos in landscape orientation.The winning photos are printed in the PGG Wrightson Turf calendar in landscape orientation. So where possible supply landscape images.

Tip 3: Try to submit original photo files from the camera’s memory card.Once you have decided which photos you would like to enter, transfer the photo file straight from the camera’s memory card onto your computer and upload online.Saving the photo as a different format may result in changing the image quality or adding more compression to the photo, and therefore reducing its potential for good print reproduction.
Tip 4: If you reduce images for emailing, always keep a copy of the original file!IF YOU NEED TO REDUCE YOUR IMAGE, KEEP A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL FILE! If your image progresses through as a finalist, we will need to obtain a high quality version to ensure that it meets printing requirements.Saving a copy of the original file in a different location and/or using clear file names will help to identify which image is high quality and which one has been reduced.
Tip 5: Don’t use photo manipulationIf the photo is not organic or has been highly edited your entry may be made void.
GOOD LUCK!
