down in pixel size accordingly or compose them in an image editing

This is an e-mail address for submission only. Please direct your
questions to the chapter office. There will be no replies or confirmation
of receipt from this e-mail address. We will contact you if we did not
receive your submission on time or if a problem arises.
Tips for your presentation.
1. Make the presentation professional and easy to understand.
2. Use professional photography where possible. Snap shots from your
digital camera are acceptable if the quality is good. Bad photography
will cast doubt on the worthiness of your project. The images should
make your project “look good”. In short, when in doubt take it out.
Less is more. Professional photography is encouraged.
3. We recommend submissions of up to 12 images. More may be
included if it is necessary to convey the design idea.
