File Upload Guidance
Iceberg accepts media files based on the file-types allowed per category (ie. JPG/AVI/PDF, etc. ) based on how many images, audio files, videos, etc. you’ve allowed to be submitted in each category.
- Those file types are used so that the entry media can be easily reviewed by judges without them having to download them, and so we can ensure entrants don’t include media that isn’t allowed in a category.
- Iceberg does NOT accept zip files for those reasons.
- Allowed file types and sizes are posted on the create entry form, and can also be found by users by clicking on Support at the top of every page on the platform.
- Images must be 150dpi or greater (suggested 300dpi, 2400px wide × 1350px tall).
- Videos must be 720p or greater. Please do not submit 4k content.
- Files must be named as such: AwardCategory#_ProjectName_Agency/Freelancer. This includes the ZIP folder and any files inside, which can be named sequentially …1/3, 2/3, etc.
- If any of the above parameters are not followed the entry may not be considered.
Once you have entered all of your submissions, please click ‘Checkout’. Entries will not be considered complete without payment.
