State Meet Banquet Slide Show

On Thursday evening, Feb 12, 2009, at the State Meet Banquet hosted by the Nordic Ski Coaches Association we will share photos of the state qualifying teams and individuals.  If you want your skiers recognized at the state meet banquet you must complete the following steps:

1. Take a good quality picture of your skiers who qualify for the state meet

2. Using some type of photo enhancing software (photo shop, paint, etc) insert skiers name, section and school.  Us a large font in a strong contrasting color.  Save photo as a JPEG.  A 700 x 466 or so photo is the perfect size. Photos with out name, section or school added will not be included in the slide show.

3. Email photos to:  [email protected] by Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 at 6:00 pm.  If your skier/team photo is not in by then it will not be included in the state qualifiers slide show and your skier will not be recognized.

4. If you have team that qualifies you can chose to submit a photo of each skier or a team photo or both.

4.  Our plan is to have the slide show running continuously during the banquet.  We will not be announcing each skier or team by name from the podium.  If you do not submit a photo they will not be recognized or named.  I will not email you asking for missing pictures.  If this is too difficult for you or you do not have the time, find someone on your team or a parent who can do this for you.  Once again if you do not submit a photo to me your skiers will not be recognized at the state meet banquet.
