Dimentions of submissions?

[Stripe]

I'm looking for the information regarding dimensions of artwork for submissions. I know It's here somewhere because I stumbled upon it the other day but didn't write it down. I want to send the actual size in pixels to avoid any unwanted scaling on the design preview. Surely this info should be easily available, not through a forum but via one of the main menu options (How it works maybe?).

Once your design is complete and you are ready to post to the contest, you must save your work as a jpeg or .png format, 640 pixels wide x 480 pixels high, RGB format. If the size and format requirements are not met, your entry may become distorted or blurry or may not post at all. Remember to keep your original vector files as well, but do not upload them to the site.

You can find that info here Designer Guidelines - Powered by DesignContest.com

What about dimensions for the website design contests? Can't be 640x480...

the design you enter for websites are mockup so they do not have to be an actual website size. The web mockup needs to be large enough to see it though. web designers know what a good size is maybe something around 1280x960 or something like that....maybe one of our web designers can chime in on what is the best size for a website entry

Sharie,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am aware of the sizes of the web pages, layouts, etc. The question is whether DC has a specific requirements for the contest submissions (mockups) in the web design section. I don't want my submissions to be distorted and we don't have an option to withdraw the design if such a thing happens. I don't know whether your website does automatic resizing of the images.

This is the information from our programmer

"Any size designer can upload without server error Entries are resized to 200x150 (thumbnails) and 640x480 (pop-up previews), but full-size pictures remains unchanged. I cannot sound maximal dimensions, because they are depend on file format and even file content. Of course, pictures about 5000 pixels are unacceptable, but 2500 pixels or nearby are welcome."

hello, fellas! I'm interested in this topic I, being a dummy, can hardly understand about the size to upload files. Actually affording to complete a file that's almost finished, but for submissioning this is a 640x480 size required. The thing happening is that if I resize to this measurement my file becomes blurry. Well described is that my file that's made in a horizontal mode becomes as if it were made vertically, of course its content is distorted. Please!
