Archive for June, 2010

GSACC has a new e-mail address for submissions for all competitions. The new e-mail address is:

Please use this new e-mail address for the June digital entries and for all future digital submissions. The Hotmail addresses will remain active until after the June submission deadline in case any entries are accidentally submitted there. After that, the Hotmail accounts will be closed.

The new e-mail address will also be used for submissions for all special contests, such as field trips and the annual Houston shootout. Since a single e-mail address is now being used for all submissions, naming files properly will be very important. For review, here are the file-naming rules:

Use a file name for the image which indicates the category and color, or B/W. Example: P_C_LM_Church.jpg. Use P for Pictorial, N for Nature, A for Assignment categories, PJ for Photojournalism, C for Color, M for Monochrome, your initials, and the Image title name. Please note the _ (underscore) which is not a – (dash). In the case of two people having the same first and last initials then three initials must be used: i.e. LJM for Lance J. Meyer. In special contests, file names are generally the subject letter, followed by an underscore and the participant number. Example: Subject A on the list is a building, and the contestant number is 101: A_101.

Files that are not correctly named will not be considered for competition. The competition chairman will not guess which category the maker intended to enter.

Please do not e-mail competition submissions to the personal e-mail addresses of the club officers and Board members. Submissions that are sent to members’ personal e-mail addresses may not get forwarded to the competition chairman. All submissions should be e-mailed only to .

Finally, thank you to Jacq Davis for setting up this new e-mail address. Having a single e-mail address will be a lot easier for everyone than having five separate e-mail addresses (and passwords for some of us) to remember.
