The original should be a high-resolution color digital file (at least 8 x 10 inches at 300 dpi, at least 5 megabytes in size). Unfortunately, for the cover shot, we cannot accept slides or prints; however, we will consider slides or prints that have been scanned digitally if they are high resolution files. We would also prefer that it be in color.</div><div style="font-family: PanacheEF-Book; font-size: medium; "><br></div><div style="font-family: PanacheEF-Book; font-size: medium; ">4. For consideration, please send a smaller jpg version of the file to <b><a href="mailto:gosatransactions@gmail.com">gosatransactions@gmail.com</a> </b>(under 2 mb in size). We will evaluate the smaller files and choose the cover shot, then ask for the larger file to be sent prior to printing. </div><div style="font-family: PanacheEF-Book; font-size: medium; "><br></div><div style="font-family: PanacheEF-Book; font-size: medium; ">5. If your photo is chosen, it will be reproduced on the cover, but it will also appear in advertisements for T-12, so it will be on the GOSA Website and in the Sput, among other possible publications. Please be willing to have your photo reproduced in this manner.</div><div style="font-family: PanacheEF-Book; font-size: medium; "><br></div><div style="font-family: PanacheEF-Book; font-size: medium; ">6.
