• Include at least four additional shots of the project.

• For one-page layouts, submit 4-5 photos; for two-page layouts, submit 8-10 photos.

• Include a short description with each photo (e.g., reading nook). Maximum text count is 150 letters, shorter descriptions preferred. The description is not published, but is used to tell the jury what the image is.

• Include a photographer credit for each photo, or in the case of renderings/drawings, the firm responsible for the image.

• Use pulldown menus to select print preference for each image. Images that should not be reproduced should be tagged "do not print."
