Design the Card Contest

---

Have you ever taken a picture you thought would make a great photo for the card? Now's your opportunity to see that happen!

Historically, Tripoli HQ would select the photo on the Tripoli membership card based on submissions from a few specific photographers. Going forward, every year, we will allow each member to submit one image as the proposed photograph for the following year's Tripoli membership card. Headquarters will then select five submissions to forward to the Tripoli Board, where the final selection will be made. The winning photograph will be used on Tripoli cards for the following year. The Tripoli website will be updated to include an image of the card, along with the name of the photographer.

Pretty cool, eh?

Now for the nitty-gritty...

1. Each Tripoli member may submit ONE photograph for consideration. The first photograph submitted will be the only one considered; subsequent submissions will be discarded.
2. You must be a Tripoli member in good standing at the time you submit a photograph.
3. Submissions will be accepted between September 1 and November 30 of each year.
4. Headquarters will select the "top 5" photographs and forward them to the Board by early December.
5. The Tripoli Board will select the winning photograph, which will be announced by December 20.
6. The winning photograph will be used for all non-custom Tripoli cards the following calendar year. The photographer's name will be announced, and photo credit given on the Tripoli website. No other compensation will be provided.

Some things to consider when submitting photographs...

• Resolution matters. Please don't crop or otherwise edit the photograph before submitting it. Small images edited for display on web pages are not sufficient quality/resolution for use when printing cards. Cropped images can present problems in doing the card layout.
• The Tripoli card is wider than it is tall. A good card photo's "main content" fits within this area. The odds of a photograph that's taller than it is wide being selected are low.
• Don't forget there's text on the card, over the top of portions of the picture. If the image requires the entire content be visible to "make sense," it may not be an ideal candidate for the card.

How To Submit Your Photo

 

Send an email to cards@tripoli.org, with the photograph as an attachment. Be sure to include your full name and member number in the email. Only the first submission from any member will be accepted; all others will be discarded without review.
