Author Topic: LPL5 - now open for entries. Contestants please read - thank you :) (Read 35000 times)

The mailbox for LPL5 is now open - you can now send your entries!

All entries must be emailed as jpeg attachments to lpleague3@yahoo.co.uk

To remind you of a few important points:

Each entry should consist of an image not exceeding 800x800 pixels.
Your images can be smaller than this if you like - but not bigger.

Please remember: all competitors must resize their own images before submitting them.

(If you don’t know how to resize images, please ask someone before the competition gets underway).

It would also really help and speed things up if you could make the filename of your picture (irrespective of the title you state for your entry) your LAF username + the LPL5 round number.
So for instance the filename for my first entry would be captainblood1.jpg

In your email - as well as attaching your entry pic - you need to tell me:

1. Your LAF user name
2. The title of your team or picture (please try to keep these as short as you can)
3. If the team is newly painted, or if it has been previously shown online or in print

The official deadline to get your round one entry in (and thus declare your intent to take part in the league) is by 12.00 GMT on Saturday 12 March 2011.

However, please do not leave it to the last minute, as we need to establish how many competitors we have in total and then have time to schedule the first round of matches. So please get your first entry in as soon as you can. Thank you

The first 4 are in!

I should have said by the way that I will always acknowledge receipt of your entry.
If I don't, within 24 hours, please PM me here to double check.
But you should always get a fairly prompt acknowledgement from me.
If you don't get an acknowledgement, then your entry may not have been received!

Questions:
* Can several entries be sent in one e-mail?
* Can I enter round 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 now and later send entries for the other rounds?

Captain Blood · « **Reply #4 on:** February 28, 2011, 07:31:12 AM »

Yes to both questions.

As a quick follow up to phreedh's question.

Can we submit all our entries early?

I am guessing yes also, just need to clearly mark which round.

Cheers Captain

Yes, as you say, just clearly mark which entry is for which round and I simply deposit the image into the correct folder

I just send my first entry… the figures look good but the picture is so, so

I know what you mean. It's taken me almost as long to take the pictures as I did to paint the first entry! Need a bit more practice but at least the first week is in.

Too true, setting up, lighting, getting a good picture is all part of the LPL. Being naturally lazy in taking pictures I like how the LPL forces me to think about that as well, trather than just painting.

Yesterday I finished my round 2 entry, I want to photograph that one before I do my round 1 entry
