3. Prepare the project photos in a Dropbox or Google drive shareable link (real, high-resolution images only that are preferably minimum 3000 px in width) If you are nominating a person for the emerging interior designer of the year, you will need to have their photo ready as well. All of the images should be downloadable and have public view permissions.
