The photos themselves are printed 50 cm wide or high on their longest side. This can therefore be square or rectangular in height or width, depending on the shooting position of the photo. So the ideal resolution of a photo is 5906 pixels on its longest side for a 50 cm print at 300 dpi. This is the regulatory resolution.<br \/>In practice, we can accept photos of at least 4000 pixels on the longest side. This allows us to guarantee sufficient print quality and allows the jury to view details of the photos without too much loss of quality.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;What is the meaning of 100 MP total number of pixels?&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Toggle: 100 MP&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#514d4d&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">The total number of pixels in a file must not exceed 100 Megapixels (100 MP, 100 million pixels) otherwise it will not be accepted by the system. The number of pixels that make up a picture can be calculated by multiplying the pixels of the longest side by the pixels of the shortest side. If this is more than 100,000,000 pixels (100 MP) then the photo will not be accepted by the upload software. Some contemporary professional medium-format cameras (Hasselblad X2D 100C, Fujifilm GFX 100S, etc.) have a sensor resolution of more than 100 MP, but even in post-production the number of pixels of an image can be pushed up to over 100,000,000. This could be one of the reasons why problems occur when uploading your photos.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;How many pictures can I submit?&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Toggle: how many?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#514d4d&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">One photographer can submit up to 10 pictures.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Do I have to pay for my pictures?&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Toggle: costs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#514d4d&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">The photographer pays 20 euros per photo submitted to share in the costs.

Therefore, it is possible that one or more photos from a series may not be selected by the judges.<br \/>We try to consider photos that clearly form a series when putting together the exhibition.<br \/>The curator of the exhibition decides which photographs will hang where. The curator may have a different vision than the photographers and may sometimes integrate photos that belong together for the photographer in different places in the exhibition. Usually the connection between the photos is then not really clear and they stand out better separately between photos that are put together in terms of subject, color, theme, etc. by the curator.<span class=\"wixGuard\">\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221; What does the sub-theme &#8216;Humour&#8217; mean?&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Toggle: Humour&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#514d4d&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The main theme of Lens op de Mens (Focus on Man) is, of course, &#8216;human beings&#8217;.

Therefore, we challenge photographers to submit humour photos to bring smiles to our visitors.<br \/>Humour is not a compulsory theme. It is a separate category within Lens op de Mens. However, humour photos must respond to the theme &#8216;man&#8217;. There must be a human element in the humour photos submitted.<\/p>\n<p>There is no need to insert the word &#8216;humour&#8217; in the file name of your photo.

Photography is a low-entry form of art which a lot of people practice. An image can be moving, touching. On top of that current (affordable) printing techniques allow for an outdoor exhibition. In France we saw an event that has been taking place for many years and that has put the village on the international map.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe cultural centre of Palethe has already had experience with photography exhibitions thanks to the photography circuit and in-house photographers. A large scale photo festival like this, is the next logical step.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;What is it?&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#f19413&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#0098af&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Toggle: What?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#514d4d&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the festival is to have at least 500 photos in the streets of Pelt: on walls, in public parks and on pillars along a route of approximately 2km.
