Did you follow the sizing requirements?

Image must be 1024×1024 pixels, use the .PSD format, and respect the safe zones template provided in the guidelines document.

If the .psd file is not working for you, try converting it to a .png instead; those are also accepted.

Hi, I’d like to send an emblem to take part in the Guild Emblem Contest. The YourNameHere.psd file is really huge (61,4 MB) and when I edit it, it requires 2 MB more. I zip the file and it becomes 47~48 MB. When I upload the file I get a “File size exception”.
I have tried to use the Emblem example.psd that is about 50 MB and when I zip my new file it becomes a bit less than 35 MB, but yet I get the same “File size exception”.
Which is the maximun size I can upload for the contest and how can I reduce more the size of the zip file? I have used the deflate method of compression because I don’t know which method you support. I’m asking info about this problem because the contest rules don’t explain anything about this.
Thank you for the help.

Deleting the extra textures seems to help. I was able to upload the zip file without a hitch.
