    SCC ANNUAL PHOTO BOOK - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
    DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 16, 2014 
     
     
     
    Each year SCC publishes an annual club photo book.  All members who submit a photo get a dedicated page within the book which displays their name, image, and optional caption information. 
     
    Please submit your image to Paul Kane no later than April 16, 2014.
     
    Images should be sized to 8x10, portrait orientation, 300 dpi is a must, Adobe RGB 1998 colorspace, your name printed exactly how you want to see it displayed in the book, and an option caption to be printed below the photo.  All images and captions should be family-friendly.
     
    **Captions can be anything you wish such as description of the image or subject or the story behind the photo or the technical specifications of how you photographed it.
     
    After the April 16th deadline, a link will be sent to a website with all submissions displayed for members to vote for the image they would like to see as the cover of the 2014 SCC Annual Photo Book.  The image which receives the most votes will be our cover for this year!
     
    If you have any questions or need assistance with any of these specifications, please let us know so we can try to assist.  This is a wonderful SCC activity that the whole membership looks forward to each year!   
     
    Many thanks to everyone who submitted their images by the original deadline of today, March 31st.  Your timely submissions are very much appreciated!  We've decided to extended the deadline to April 16th in hopes that it will give more members a chance to submit images so we can make this the biggest and best SCC Annual Club book ever!!  We have so many talented folks in the club and this is such a wonderful opportunity to showcase your work.  Please get your images in by April 16th and please let us know if you have questions about getting your images sized, etc. correctly.
