Quick Start Guide

This Quick Start Guide walks you through the three essential steps you need to perform to get started.  It does not describe all the features available.  The complete User Guide is the comprehensive reference manual for the digital image submission system.

Step 1: Register

1. Select Register from the left hand menu.
2. Fill out the registration form.  The following table describes each of the fields on the form. 
   
   

   Username	Choose a username that is at least 3 characters long and consists of lower case letters, digits, hyphens and underscores only.
   Password	Choose a password that is at least 4 characters long.
   Confirm Password	Retype your password again so we can be sure it is correct.
   First Name	Enter your first name as you'd like it to appear on the screen during digital competitions.
   Last Name	Enter your last name as you'd like it to appear on the screen during digital competitions.
   E-mail	Provide your preferred email address.  This is the address the system will use to send you notifications.
   Security Question	At some point you may forget your password.  Before resetting your password, the system will ask you a question and if you supply the correct answer you will be emailed a new password. Enter a question that you will always know the anwser to.  This question will preferably have a one word answer. A default question is provided that you can use.  If you don't like that question, type in a different one.
   Security Answer	Enter the answer to your security question.  The system does not distinguish between upper and lower case characters in your answer, so "Smith" is equivalent to "smith"
