To give the best website navigation experience we need to keep in mind that each published photo should be optimised for the web. Due to the big volume of submission, we receive daily and the increased workload for maintaining the website all submitted images should fulfil that requirement for publishing. That is why when submitting your notice, the image should be horizontal / landscape format with dimensions 960 x 540px and size not bigger than 65 KB. Allowed types jpg, jpeg, png. Make sure to balance the quality and file size.
If the submitted image is different than the requested dimensions/size and it needs manual adjustment from our side a €5 fee applies.
