\nThe entire selection process is designed to be as fair as possible so we do not tell you what kind of work to submit, and indeed the selectors work completely independently of LIP in making their decisions.\u2028Photographic works\u00a0\u2013 The best advice in choosing photographs is for them to be innovative and original, take time to make your choice.\u2028If a member is not working with digital files (ie: working with print and film only),\u00a0contact the Exhibition Organiser\u00a0for details about the best way to submit your work.\u2028<\/p>\n
\nEnsure that you submit your Entry Form before midnight Sunday 25th October.<\/p>\n
\nYour digital submission will be viewed on a computer screen. Please ensure that you upload image files strictly in accordance with the specifications given above. The digital files are used not only for selection but also for the catalogue so please check for dust spots etc. and that files are 1800 pixels longest dimension. max quality jpegs and correctly named using your membership number not your name.\u2028If you are not familiar with preparing or resizing digital image files please feel free to\u00a0email the Web Editor\u00a0for advice.<\/p>\n
\nCheck that your prints, mounts and frames are of good quality, as prints which do not meet LIP\u2019s quality standards will not be hung. Ask yourself is your final framed\/\/mounted print suitable for sale in a smart gallery?\u2028
\nFramed or mounted work: Ensure your work is sized correctly, a maximum of 75cm wide and 95cm high including any frame and either framed or mounted on board (eg Foamex, MDF, Aluminium).
\nEspacio Gallery has a specific hanging method which must be followed for all work to be hung. They need D-rings or similar on the back to fit on hooks which slide on wires hanging from the ceiling. The maximum weight of each work for the hanging system is 7kg.\u2028
\nIf mounting your work on PVC board (eg Foamex, MDF, Aluminium) then it is compulsory to have a batten firmly attached on the back with 2 D-rings for hanging. A second batten at the bottom will improve its \u2018hang\u2019 on the wall. Please make sure the space between the ring and the top edge of the work is about 7cm.\u2028If you are using frames, it is also mandatory to attach 2 D-rings onto the back of each work frame, placed about 7cm from the top edge of the frame.
\nGlass in frames makes them more difficult to handle and impedes viewing of your work (unless non reflective glass). It\u2019s often better to remove glass from frames if possible.\u2028<\/p>\n
