For logos and graphics to be shown on awards:

We are able to accept artwork in both MAC and PC formats and may be sent by e-mail, CD hard copy, Cloud Service/FTP site or USB thumb drive.

Preferred file formats include:

• EPS (text outlined / set to paths)
• TIFF/JPG, 300dpi minimum (72dpi website logos are unusable)
• AI (text outlined, version CS6)
• PDF (text outlined / set to paths)

For model or sculpture art:

In order to build the most accurate model or sculpture of your product, the following image guidelines must be met:

• Images from both a straight-on view (orthographic), from each side must be sent.
• To increase accuracy, please send as many high resolution photos as possible from every angle possible.
• For buildings, please send a top view or footprint and side elevations from each direction in addition to photos.
• If using CAD software, please export the orthographic views as PDF files and remove most of the annotations to save file size.

All art files must meet the following requirements:

• Non-Vector based files must be converted to black and white line art (not grey-scale). Black areas will be raised and white areas will be recessed.
• Text must be at 6pt size or larger to be visible when cast.
• All files should have outlined text or set to paths (preferred). If this is not possible, they must include all fonts.

For 3D Cad Files

*Parametric based files such as .step, .igs, or .sldprt/ .sldasm are the best types to send.
*Mesh based files .stl, .obj are usable, but may look faceted depending on the mesh size.
*Please remove unnecessary details that will not be visible, such as wiring, bolts, springs, and interior details. This will reduce file size and save on setup time. 
*If the files are larger than 10mb, please zip the files and upload to a file sharing service.
