For NEW Entries:
Please submit 10 to 20 color .jpeg images of the project. Images should be set for screen resolution (72 dpi minimum) and should be large enough to fit as a full-screen display on standard monitors. Please show all aspects of a project to help give judges a complete sense of the retail environment.
For RENOVATED Entries:
- Please submit 10 "before" .jpeg images.
- Please submit 10 "after" color .jpeg images.
- Please identify which are "before" images and which are "after" images. (Please select images that show similar parts of the property or store from the same photo angle and distance for before and after photos. This provides judges the best sense of what was accomplished in the renovation. Before photos that are dark or taken from long distances may make the after photos look better, but don’t provide clarity in what the new design accomplished).
