Is there a suggested image size, or can I do a panorama of several 4672X3104 bitmaps? (Exagerating for effect only... ). Is 800X600 a more reasonable size?

Three more things I forgot to include in my Call for Entries post. John just discovered one.

Flash movies (*.swf) are OK too.

Please include your Name, TalkGraphics nickname (for example gwpriester), and where you live. State and Country are fine.

And, images should not be more than 600 pixels wide at 96dpi.

Gary,

Is this the 1st annual Holiday Group Show or is there an image archive of past Holiday Group Shows. I did a quick web search and clicked about randomly on XaraXone.com but didn't find any references to previous 'show'ings.

Looks like fun. Now all I need is a quick dose of inspiration.

Thanks,
Harry

Harry,

I think this is the 8th group show. The first was in 2001 http://www.xaraxone.com/html/featured_art_2001.html

Look at each year's December Featured Art.

Bill,

Thanks for the link(s). I'm off to peruse past entries now.

One week to go before the deadline (Wednesday the 10th) so if you are not one of the five people who have already sent in your images () then now's the time.

I did an entry for the Xara Outsider Food contest that would also work as a holiday entry. It didn't get chosen as a finalist, so would it be OK to submit that to the group show?

[gwpriester]

Absolutely.

I will send you mine today or tomorrow! Still working on the details!
