Tips for making sure your photo qualifies for the contest:

1. Make sure your camera is set on the highest pixel setting. The file size will be large, but big can be reduced by the graphic designer. Small pictures can’t be enlarged!

2. When emailing your digital photo, do NOT reduce the file size. Keep it at the original size.

3. If your computer or email system does not want to send it because the file size is too large, save the picture to a CD and mail the CD in a protective CD case.

4. Close up shots are best, zoom in on the child(rens) face. These are the priceless shots we need for the FFCCHA publications.

5. Photography from professional photographers are not acceptable and will not be acknowledged or returned.
