The procedure by which users can participate is detailed below. The user is invited to read and digest the information presented on the HOME PAGE of www.locateyourphoto.gr and then to REGISTER after having read and accepted the TERMS OF USE. The user receives an email confirming and activating their personal account and is invited to SUBMIT PHOTOS by following the following steps: STEP 1: SELECT PHOTO LOCATION The user is asked to drag the pin over the map of Greece to the location which their photos were taken. STEP 2: UPLOAD PHOTOS The user is asked to drag their photos (up to 5 at a time) into the upload box to upload them, having first read and understood the required image specifications. Image Specifications When uploading photos to the site, follow these step-by-step instructions for your convenience and to ensure that your photos appear at their best: File Types Save photos in .jpg, .gif or .png format only; .pdf, .psd, .tif and .doc files are not compatible with the website’s image upload facility. File name Use only Latin letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores in file names. Other characters (such as question marks and percentage marks) may cause the file to be uploaded incorrectly. File size There is a 10 MB limit on all uploads, but we recommend that you use files smaller than 500 KB to optimize the final appearance of the photos you upload. Resolution The maximum image resolution is set at 60 megapixels. General best practices Image Width The dimensions of the photos you upload will affect the way in which they are ultimately displayed. We recommend using photos between 1,500 and 2,500 pixels in width. Photos smaller than 1,500 pixels in size may look blurred. We do not recommend enlarging a smaller photo, as this may detract from its quality. Instead, start with a photo that is at least 1,500 pixels wide. Orientation Make sure your photo is oriented correctly before uploading. At the end of this step, the user is asked to describe what is depicted in their photos and to state the year and time at which it was taken. STEP 3: SELECT CATEGORY The user is asked to choose which of the suggested categories corresponds best to each of the photos they post. Should a photo not correspond to any of the suggested categories, the user can suggest a new category. Having completed the above steps, the user submits their photo.
