Brief, practical notes for both entrants and the contest host that fill gaps not covered in the thread so far.

For designers: concentrate on mood and reproducibility. Create strong value (light/dark) contrasts and one clear focal area so the artwork still reads when reduced for digital stores or printed small. Prepare alternate crops (square and tall) so the organizer can pick the best trim. If uncertain, include a one-sentence concept note describing the idea and visual references used.

Delivery and preview tips: upload a single web-friendly preview for the thread and keep a high-resolution print-ready copy locally. If a preview fails to display, have a backup delivery method ready (attach to a private message or email the organizer). To protect work when posting publicly, share a watermarked, lower-resolution preview and make unwatermarked files available privately on selection.

Practical checklist to include with each submission:

  • A web preview (JPEG, reasonable size for forum viewing)
  • A high-resolution master kept by the author for print export
  • A one-line concept/credit statement and contact email
  • A note listing any third-party assets or model/property releases used
  • A backup delivery option (PM or email) in case uploads break

For the organizer: make the judging criteria explicit (for example: originality, composition, print-readiness, and fit with the requested mood). Also clarify post-selection terms up front — whether the artist transfers copyright or grants a license, what credit will be given, and whether a signed release is required. This prevents disputes and streamlines selection; it would have helped when experienced an upload glitch and when entries began arriving.

Odd... imageshack is normally reliable.
