A general comment from Director of Digital Competition: Please pay attention to image sizes and file names. Many needed to be renamed in the first round. The image sequence numbers are al, a2, a3, b1, b2 and b3. The numbering is not arbitrary. Many images were numbers a1 through a6. The software for the competitions will not work for images numbered 1 to 6.
