To attach a photo to your entry form, follow these simple steps:

  1. Plug your digital camera into your computer and copy your container photos from your camera to a location on your computer's disk. (See the instructions that came with your camera for details on how to do this, it varies with camera software.)

    Important Tip: Be sure to remember where you put it and the filename of the image!
  2. Back on the entry form, click on the "browse" links that appears to the right of each photo field.
  3. A directory listing will appear in a pop-up box. Use this box to find your photo file (you remember where you put it, right?)
  4. Select the photo file and click on the "OPEN" button. The browse box will disappear and the photo file will be added to the form. You may send up to three photos of your container.
  5. When you finish filling out the form and click the "ENTER" button, a copy of your beautiful container photo will speed to us somehow (we don't understand this part either), along with all the other info on the form.

Is all this too much for you? You can print a copy of the entry form here and send it by regular post to our address in the left column. Include a nice, big photo print (or two) of your prize-winning container. Sorry, we cannot return any photos. All photos become the property of Garden Gate magazine.
