How to Delete an Entry?


How can I delete my contest entry?
The submission guidelines are misleading, in that it states the ideal size is 500x750, but my image was resized to 480 on the short side. This caused a loss of sharpness, clarity and color saturation, resulting in an unfair representation of my work. I would like to try resizing to the correct final dimension and resubmit it with the correct size to hopefully minimize the deleterious effects of this processing.

  When re-sizing, try changing the wide dimension to 950 if your photo is in horizontal format, and 425 on the wide dimension when submitting verticals.
I've found that both of these sizes will give you a full-screen representation of your work, and they fit into the image size criteria for contest entries.

  Thanks, I was able to get in touch with Heather, and she said she deleted them for me, but I can't resubmit until tomorrow.
Bob, I don't see how resizing to 950 on the wide side could possibly fit the image size criteria. Doesn't it have to be no more than 480 on the short side? They all seem to be resized to that if larger. And "full screen" depends on what resolution you use on your monitor. An image that is full screen on one computer may not be full screen when displayed on another.
