We understand the importance of accurate representation of your
work, but we receive hundreds of photos. Following the guidelines
below will ensure a smooth process for all of us! There is
additional information/ clarification here:
"Image Help"
-
Provide only one photo/image
per entry. You may submit up to three entries per application.
-
Photos should be supplied in
JPG or TIF format and must not have been edited in any way*.
In other words - we need the original,
straight-out-of-the-camera photo. You
may include an edited version of your bead photo – in addition
to the original photograph – for the layout designer to use as
reference for color accuracy.
-
Photo must be at least 900
pixels (or 3"/7.6cm at 300 dpi resolution) on its shortest side.
This doesn't not mean to crop the image (which, of course, is
considered editing), just ensure the photo is large enough.
-
Use neutral backgrounds -
white, black or gray - solid or gradient
-
Do not include excessive
background area in your photos or the final bead image size may
be too small. Bead images which are too small will not be
suitable for publication.
Feel free to e-mail

have any questions about the image guidelines.
