Requirements for Preparing and Submitting Slides

Slides should be bought to the meeting and submitted between 6:30pm and 6:45pm before the meeting starts.



Each slide must have a signal dot placed in the lower left-hand corner of the slide as the slide is hand viewed. It signals the proper orientation in the slide projector. A descriptive title and the maker's name must be printed on the same side as the dot. Add a (W) to the title when the image complies with the PSA definition of authentic wildlife. For example: Egret in Flight (W). (Dots are available at most stationery stores. You may also use a "Sharpie" pen that will write on paper or plastic mounts.) Give your slides to the projectionist before the start of the meeting. Slides are inserted upside down in the projector so your name and slide title are easily read by the projectionist when written as shown. Use printed labels or a dark ink so this information can be read in dim light.

Slides may be in cardboard or plastics mounts as they come from the finisher or in Gepe glass mounts. Gepe mounts are available in the standard full frame or with the interior window cropped in a variety of sizes. The "cropped" Gepe mounts may be purchased by mail from RMF Products, Inc., PO Box 520, Batavia, IL 60510. They also have metal slide boxes and mailing envelopes for mailing slides to international competitions.
