Did you recently change the size of photos you accept? I tried uploading one that is 640x480 (that's how I resize most of my photos for entering contests) and it was rejected. But I had one win before at that size and the winning photos today are that size. Would you consider allowing 640x480 to be uploaded? If not it will take a lot of work to resize and process all of the photos I want to enter.
You may have noticed that 640x480 is now accepted in the posting form. We had it set to 600 minimum size as a rule from the beginning -- but like most rules, they were made to be ignored.
The new form helps with categorizing and eliminating some basic rule violations, but the 600 pixel size minimum we decided to relax. That said, I believe most sites accept 800x600 images so they will show better on the web today. So if you can, start sizing them accordingly.
