    If an image of mine was chosen for the loan collection, do I need to have a printed version sent in for display purposes? If so, by when and how do I submit it?

    If I entered in the SEPPA competition and received seals for my images, do I have to resend to Nationals? What category would that be listed under, EI?

    This article is well done. Some of the confusion about the electronic imaging competition could be cleared up by coming up with a more accurate description of the category itself, such as "Artistic Image Manipulation". And the rules themselves are confusing as to size requirements when guide images are included. My understanding is that the 11 x 14 inch limit for the guide is part of the overall 20 x 24 mount board, but this is never actually stated in the rules. Only by actually seeing examples at Imaging USA was I able to determine that the guide images were not displayed on a separate board.

    So should all images that have been significantly manipulated in Painter be entered in EI? Or does the maker get to choose whether to enter it here or in Photographic Open?
