to make its look harmonize with that of the anniversary site. We need
suitable pictures and have decided to have a competition amongst
Lowlands-L members and their associates. So here's a chance for you
photographs and artists out there.
</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">We need one picture or a collage of no more than three
pictures for the top panel. These must be suitable for insertion into
the panel which has the dimensions of 820 x 120 pixels, 11.389 x
1.667", or 28.93 x 4.93 cm (at 76 dpi). (Please see the anniversary

should be no copyright conflicts. So we need permission from you if
your pictures are chosen or from the person from whom you acquire
pictures.
</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Rural scenes, windmills etc. are fine. But please bear in
mind that the Lowlands as we know them are more diverse than that and
are not necessarily stuck in history either. The real challenge is to
come up with a single picture that pretty much covers or represents it
all, alternatively a collage of no more than three pictures. To give
you an idea let me throw out there the possibility of Lowlands-specific
landscapes or historic buildings or costumes contrasting with something
representing the 21st century within the same picture. Please also
bear in mind that the Lowlands include places like Australia, New
Zealand and Southern Africa.

we need one or two pictures each that represent the places and
communities -- again hopefully not tired old stereotypes but stuff that
"pops" a bit.

thus gobble up a lot of memory), please send us small versions first,
and we will ask for larger versions if we select them for this or later
projects. Please also let us know about the permission part and whether
or not we are allowed to publish credits.
