Formats and Enclosures

There has been some confusion as to the format in which the entries are to be sent.

- The entries have to be sent in TWO copies. Preferabably in separate fomats. E.g.: One vDVD and one VCD. This is so that even if one disk does not work then, hopefully, the other will. If it is in the same format, e.g. both are vDVDs, then try and burn them on separate machines so that the risk factor is minimised.

- DO NOT send data disks with .avi, .mpeg, or .mov files. ONLY send disks that can be played in any common PAL DVD player.


Also with every entry we require the following enclosures:

1. Two Passport sized photographs of yourself.
2. The filled form.
3. Two screencaps or hi resolution photographs of the film: you can either send hard copy or email the pics to thedamfest@gmail.com in .jpg, or .tif format. DO NOT send the pictures in .gif or .png format.

We have to have all these materials because they will be printed in the catalogue. Please make sure that you include them with the film entry.
