Slide and Print Guidelines
Most juried shows will accept either 35mm colored slides OR photographs mounted on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper as indicated below. Note that Northwind does NOT accept digital files or CDs.
Recently, Nikon announced they would no longer be producing film cameras for consumers. Costco recently stopped accepting slides for processing, and tungsten balanced slide film is getting more difficult to find. The trend here is towards printed photographs from digital files.
It is essential that the juror see a representative image of your artwork; in particular the color must be accurate. Poorly lit or color shifted images can disqualify your work. Consider having your work professionally photographed. Two professionals with a good track record are Frank Ross in Port Townsend, and Joan Consani in Sequim. [Other professional photographers can be added to this list - just send an example of your work that has been accepted by Northwind]
