RACC Submission Requirements for Digital Media

When submitting your supporting materials in digital format, please keep in mind that our panelists typically have access to standard, universally available audio/visual and computer equipment or software. The guidelines below were written to help ensure that RACC staff and panelists can play your media and/or access your files without complications, including uploading materials to internet sharing services for electronic review by panelists.

Notes

• To help prevent technical problems from affecting consideration of your work, it is highly recommended that you test the quality and ease of access to your files by having someone review your digital materials using their own equipment.
• This is a general guide for submitting digital materials to RACC. Depending on the application/project, there may be additional requirements or limitations for submitting digital media, such as the number of images you may submit, etc. Please refer to the application guidelines or prospectus for any submission requirements relating to the specific RACC opportunity in question.
