Image upload information

YOUR IMAGES

Please read all these notes before uploading your images. Incorrect naming and incorrect types of file costs us a great deal of time to resolve, so we’d appreciate it if you could follow these instructions carefully.

You will upload images as part of the application procedure. These will be uploaded to, and stored in, our Dropbox folder. You do not need a Dropbox account yourself to upload images.

NAMING YOUR IMAGE FILES

IMPORTANT - You must include your name (or your group’s name if making a group application) in the filename for every image you upload. If you don’t we will not be able to tell which are your images and connect with your application. You will need to set the name of the image file on your computer before uploading it to our Dropbox folder. You can’t change the name of it as part of the upload process.

For individual applications please name your image files in this format ‘Artist Name_Image Title’.
For example ‘Alex Ebdon_Morning Light’

For group applications please name your image files in this format ‘Group Name_Image Title’.
For example ‘Ealing Art Group_Morning Light’

IMPORTANT - You must specify which single image you’d prefer to feature in the brochure by including ‘Brochure’ in the filename for this image, along with your name and image title.
For example ‘Alex Ebdon_Morning Light_BROCHURE’ or ‘Ealing Art Group_Morning Light_BROCHURE’

Please note that if you do not specify which image you’d like as your brochure image then the BEAT committee will have to choose one of your images for you.

For individual applications you will be required to upload three images.

For group applications you will be required to upload a minimum of three and a maximum of six images.
