Hey Jeannine, I have used Cafe for entries before. Was there a specific one you're looking at?
Cafe’ and Cafe’West
Posted by Jeannine Cartwright on the Big Photo Hunt community board.
Does anyone have experience with Cafe’ and/or Cafe’West? Just curious to get info from outside those competitions and get this community’s thoughts, experiences, ANYTHING about it. Thank you from J-9, aka, Jeannine

SO, SO, S0 many questions!! I believe you answered my biggest one: Is it a rip-off or gimmick? I’ve had my first 4 pics selected and in an international competition- not one of those where everyone gets an invitation. Here are 3 of them- I don’t remember the 4th… how did you SIZE them for judging? ( juror’s light settings when they view is such a wild card)!). I’m just using my iPhone bc… it’s easy. I’m doing gallery print size, (300 dpi- I don’t know what that really means… sort of- I’m learning…) . But if it’s online…? A potential patron would likely only need/want standard wall art (200dpi), wh/is about 2x the size

@[Jeannine Cartwright](ca3d715e-1d9f-452d-8ed0-b7b4e899d4d9) so, when I submitted, I submitted for an gallery exhibit for a local art show. Submission was low quality (cause they had size restrictions for the files). I had 3 selected for one competition, and 2 more for another one. I printed it out of 10x15 wall print, cause they required a wall print. Attached picture shows the print out quality
