Subject: Gallery submission

Attach a copy of your image, which should be in JPEG, PNG or GIF format, and no bigger than 670x670 pixels. Please also make the file as small as you can manage without compromising the quality. Smaller files stand a better chance of being placed on the main site. Larger files may only be placed in the gallery archive site. For use on the website, JPEG is best.

Please give the image file a meaningful name, and start the name with your initials to cut down on the risk of file-name collisions.

Optionally attach a thumbnail image to go with your picture. This must be exactly 95x95. It could be a reduced version of the main picture, or a region cropped from it, or some combination of reduction and cropping. Please use the same format as the main image if at all possible.

Please provide information about the image. Replace the "[text]" with appropriate information.

File: [Name of file]
Title: [Short title]
By: [Your name]
Date: [The date (and time) the image was taken]
Description: [A reasonable description of the image, which may go on to several lines, or even a few paragraphs.]
Tech: [Technical details about how the image was made. This may also be quite long, if you like]

At least File: Title: By: and Description: must be provided, but Date: and Tech: are nice to have too.

The copyright of your image remains with you, but by submitting it to the OAS Gallery, we assume you are giving us permission to use it on the OAS websites.
