Submitting Entries
To upload and submit your photo entry for an LPA contest, you'll need to fill in each field and click “Submit”. An explanation of the fields is shown here:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Event | This dropdown list shows all contests which are accepting submissions. Select the contest for which you're submitting an entry. |
| Image Title | Each image must have a title. |
| Select File | Click “Browse” and select the file that you'd like to upload. Make sure that the file is a JPEG image and is between 100 kilobytes and 4 megabytes in size. |
| Division | Select your division, or ranking. |
| Class | Select the class into which the entry will be submitted. Your chance of winning an award is greatly improved by selecting the most appropriate class for your image. |
| Location | Enter the location where the photo was taken. This is optional, but may be required for some classes such as “Travel” |
When you click “Submit”, you'll see a message indicating that your photo was accepted by the system. If your file was rejected, a message will be displayed indicating the reason.
Updating Entries
You may now click on the “My Entries” tab to view your entries. Select the event from the dropdown list (the closest upcoming event is selected by default).
Try refreshing your browser by clicking the “Refresh” or “Reload” button. You can try pressing Control-F5 or Control-R, depending upon your browser and operating system.
Editing
Click the pencil icon next to your image's thumbnail to get to the editing form. You may change the image title, the division and the class in which the image is entered. You cannot change the filename or the event; if this is necessary, then you should delete the image and re-upload it.
Deleting
On the “My Entries” tab, click the gray trashcan icon next to your image's thumbnail to delete it. A confirmation box will pop up so that you can confirm that you really want to delete the image.
