PhotoEntry - How to guide

Overview

PhotoEntry is the chosen platform for handling all competition entries for the club. It is used to manage both internal and external competition entries and is administered by our Competition Secretary.

Members can access it from the following link: https://photoentry.uk/information/welcome.html

​Upon arriving on the welcome page, click on Login to progress to the next screen:

 On the login screen, enter your e-mail address and password as organised with our Competition Secretary. If you haven't received the invitation link with user details, contact them to have the details reset and resent. Note you can click the tick box for "Remember UserID on this computer" which will retain your login information for direct access next time.

Once logged in, you will be presented with the summary screen, links should be available for the internal club competitions and external competitions such as the SPF and Grampian Eye:

Clicking into the Club Competitions 2018/19 will take you to the next menu of choices:

For the case of this example, let's look at the Fraserburgh Friendly. Clicking into this competition will bring up the following page, note the highlighted area details how many entries are allowed for this particular competition but most importantly the allowed dimensions for the entries. These are the values that will be used during export from your editing application such as Lightroom or Photoshop. For this example, the longest horizontal edge is 1600px, longest vertical edge is 1200px, therefore in the case of a square crop you would only be allowed 1200px x 1200px due to the restriction on the vertical edge.

Click on Add New Entry to submit an image to the competition:

Enter your desired image title, then click on Add This Entry to progress through to the next page where you can browse to upload your file, once uploaded click on Upload Image to confirm and upload the file

You will now see the entry summary screen, if everything is good you will see the text "OK" shown in green.

If any messages appear in "Orange", these are warnings but not errors. Errors are shown in "Red"
Repeat for your other entries into the competition, you can then adjust the order of your entries by clicking on the up or down arrows to the left of your image previews. 

If you have any questions, just reach out to our Competition Secretary or any other experienced member.
