I just wanted to say thank you for creating this grant. I know there’s some amazing talent out there and I’m excited to see it. I love photography, creating my own prints and seeing other people’s work. I’ve only just learned of the existence of Burn and I’m glad you’re here.

did you hear from the woman who was in Cuba with no internet connection?

there is no need to create a burn account to enter the EPF, but you are surely welcome here :-)

I’m being told that the deadlines are always set automatically at 6pm EST. Unfortunately there is no way we can change that. I will verify this with slideroom support.

HOWEVER there is always a 24 hour grace period for people who have started their submission before the deadline, so they can complete it without getting caught by time zone differences.

That said, starting a fully new submission process past the deadline is unfortunately not possible, hence your message Sean when you clicked “start a new submission”

cheers, a

I just went to upload my essay to the SlideRoom, tried to click ‘start a new submission’, and it told me that it was unavailable and to contact my organization. I understand I’m pretty late in the day on the submission, but I was wondering if it would still be possible to submit?

Thank you for the attention.

I’m trying to add my submission, but in slide room when I click on ‘submit’ i get this message
‘There are no active programs available at this time.
Please contact your organization for more information.’

it is currently 5:00pm pacific time on may 15th, and I haven’t seen anything stating a time restriction for the day, is this a slide room eror?

we are trying to figure out your problem, however nobody else seems to be having this problem, so we are assuming something wrong at your end…what else can we conclude? from all we can see Slideroom is working perfectly….

I have to correct myself. I got help from the slideroom help desk and now I can make my payment via telephone.

Thanks

Dirk

I admire your work and the effort you do with the grant. But I’m quite disappointed in the slideroom application. I tryed like fifty times to pay my submission with my credit card and I always got “transaction decliend” error message. You can belive me this is the first that happend to me. The hint from the slideroom team is try it again with a different credit card or call us. So in Germany most of us just have one credit card. I would send you guys a check or use paypal. but infact I will simply not submit any thing because of slideroom.

Cheers Dirk

Sorry for such a late reply, I was sure I submitted the my ‘thank you’ back but double checked now and figured out that somehow it did not appear. Anyway, thank you very much for the information and your kind answer.

All the best,
Daria

A little Pink Floyd to while away the time…

But time’s getting short? Is it okay to submit an mp4 for the video? I know it’s not listed as a choice, but can’t imagine why it would be a problem?

thanks a lot for the response! Anton, my images were in sRGB for upload, but the problem was as you, Thodoris, pointed out. They were photoshopped in Proof Setup, CMYK mode…for print. So now finetuning in monitor RGB mode. Technical part for images on web is new for me, so again thanks a lot!

If you’re using Photoshop make sure you go to:

View -> Proof Setup -> Monitor RGB

When you post-process your pictures in this mode then what you see in PS is what others will see on their monitors when you upload your files.

contrast should not change, images are not altered when uploading… don’t make adjustments for that.

if it seems tgat contrast changes, check if you saved your images “for web”, so with an sRGB color space

but again, nothing to worry about, just leave your images as they were

cheers,

a

technical question:

when I upload pictures into the slideroom account, the contrast in my images changes a lot. So, I change the contrast of my images (darker and more contrast) as to get them right when viewed on full page in the slideroom acount. Is that the right thing to do? Anybody same experience?

Regarding the submission rules for video? Are there any rules other than the 60 MB limit? Video dimensions? Image size within the video? Time? Anything?

Thanks
