Thanking you in advance for you kind attention to my questions I remain

Hello Rod,
High resolution simply means that we require a photograph of sufficient quality that it can be printed, so for example a cameraphone picture might be of too low resolution to qualify. The file size of a photograph that is sufficiently high resolution would be between 2 and 10mb; if in doubt, please supply and we will let you know if it isn’t big enough.
We will consider all submissions but would state that successful submissions will be displayed alongside photographs from artists’ family albums, so a family photograph has more chance of being suitable in that context.
I hope this answers your questions and best of luck!
