Can you suggest a solution?

CFields writes: I've been trying to upload my pictures but it keeps telling me that they're too big. But they are much smaller than the limits - 178x352 and only 20KB. They are jpeg images. Am I doing something wrong?

Perhaps Vicky could arrange for a special "International" contest for those not residing in the United States/Canada. Book prizes and or DVD magazine archives would make wonderful recognition for our efforts. Also they are easy to post especially the magazine DVD archives.

Cheers
One happy sewer from Australia.

My name is Maria and I live in Quebec, Canada. In previous contests I've seen that Quebec is not authorized to participate.

I would love to be able to participate. Can you let me know if this time it is possible?

Thank you!
