FAQ’s that may help you!

Q: What is the Storyboard?
A: The storyboard is both a test of photography and layout skills. The storyboard is ONE PHOTOGRAPH FILE where three individual photos have been placed on a created canvas along with mimumal text to tell a story. As you can imagine you will need to have three great photos to make this work and still stay within the file size. Do not submit three separarte files, nor submit a pdf file. The skill is taking a jpg and creating a jpg!

Q: What size format should the photos be entered in?
A: Photos should be able to be printed at a 300 dpi (dots per inch) at a size of 3 X 5 inches. If a 4-H members is taking their photos on a “standard” or “fine” setting on their camera their size and resolution should be good. If the photo is not clear and ‘grainy’ then it is not of the quality that should be entered!
The Internet can provided resources for adjusting the size and resolution of a photograph.
