Format for the digital photograph of the artwork -

While taking the photograph, the camera lens should be parallel to the artwork surface. Do not angle the lens as this distorts the image. Experiment with a variety of lighting to see what works best. Avoid camera flash back or images that are too dark. Fill the frame of the camera with the artwork.

For artwork that will fit on a bed of a digital scanner, scan the image at 100%.

Sargent Art requests that images are ONLY altered in the following ways –

•	Orientation: Work should be rotated properly so that a work is not laying on its side while viewing. Re-orientation during adjudication may not be possible, or may distort the dimensions of the image.
•	Cropping: Crop background other than the artwork
