FAQs about Photo Format Submission Guidelines
What are the image formatting requirements?
In order for photos to look sharp in a printed book, all submissions must be
a high-quality JPEG format (sometimes shown as .jpg or .jpeg). Photos
must be approximately 3.2 megapixels—with a minimum size of 2000x1500 pixels.
Note: We are planning to print the selected images at 300 dots per inch.
We will not consider any photos at a lower resolution than specified above.
Can I submit black and white photos?
Both color and black and white photos are acceptable, as long as they
are high-resolution JPEGs that meet the requirements specified above.
Can I send you a printed photo instead of a digital one?
No. We only accept digital photos. If you have access to a scanner, however,
you can convert it to a digital photo. The same image formatting requirements apply.
