    1. Dear Arta,

      As it says in the Official call for the contest, in the Application procedure, "A series of 15 to 45 photographs: – jpg format at the highest quality (lowest compression) – about 1500 pixels x 2000 pixels (for projection purposes), resolution set at 72 dpi – RGB or Gray Scale, Unlocked files."
      So my guess is that you need to stay around these numbers. To be on the safe side, I would suggest that you contact the organizers and ask them your concerns. You can contact Christophe Laloi – Artistic director at festival@voies-off.com

      Kind regards
