Just talked to Wayne from Stone Lantern...and asked him about the illustrations question. He says that as long as the resolution is good, the illustrations (drawings, not photos of course) should be all right. He mentioned 300 dpi as being acceptable.

And he's enthused about the contest!! Looking forward to reading some of the articles!

We have four articles, and are looking for more to be coming! Please, if you are considering submitting, sit down, compose your thoughts, and go for it!!

The whole forum benefits from your submission, and the prizes are great. What more could you ask for?

YAY Randy! The deadline is March 15th. Remember not to mention your topic if you post about your article... It's going to be anonymous.

I've probably got another three weeks worth of work to go. Because of the nature of my article the times I can work on it are restricted... saying no more...

Regards,

Chris.

Here's a reminder when you mail your articles, please include

1. the release statement from the submissions instructions
2. your forum user name
3. if you're in the running for a prize, include your mailing address. This step is optional, but it sure speeds things up having everything in one place.

Regards,

Matt

We have EIGHT articles now, with about two weeks to go. If you are working on an article, please pm me if there is anything that would help you, or if you have any questions. I would like to hear from those of you who are seriously working on one but haven't submitted it yet, just to get a head count. But remember -- PRIVATE MESSAGE-- let's not tell the forum what you are writing about!

This is going to be an awesome contest.
