Triptych Competition Rules and Guidelines - Aug 2023

1. An entry must comprise three distinct images of any size or shape either wholly separated or only partially overlapping and have a common theme to form a cohesive panel.

2. A background, if included, should complement the presentation of the three images but must not become a significant fourth image.

3. Images previously seen in CCC competitions may be used as part of your triptych.

4. A maximum of three triptychs per member is allowed.

5. For the Triptych PDI Competition only we accept images at the higher resolution of
3840 x 2160 pixels. You will note that this is much higher quality than we see at the club now, and it is widescreen which is better for a landscape triptych.

6. A portrait triptych is permissible but will not benefit much from the higher quality on offer so we would not recommend it.

7. Please prepare your images accordingly. We recommend you edit and crop in widescreen and then simply convert to 3840 x 2160 (rather than 1400 x 1050) when you create your final jpegs for submission. The changes to the editing and uploading process are minimal and only in the final step, so this will not take longer or need new editing software.

8. Ideas and tutorials for many brands of software can be found by an internet search 'create triptychs'.
