FTP Server Instructions:

NOTE: You must use an FTP Client in order to use FTP. If you do not have a FTP client, we recommend FileZilla.

This FTP server is different to a normal FTP – you cannot see other folders when you upload your images so it is completely secure and confidential.

Entrants uploading their images are required to create a folder titled by their name and then title each image the name of their prototype.

We also accept submission to launchpad@indesign.com.au through yousendit.com.
