For DV2009 it is clearly stated in the pdf instructions document that the image must be 320 X 240 pixels in size as quoted hereunder:
Technical Specifications: The submitted digital photograph must conform to the following specifications or the system will automatically reject the E-DV Entry Form and notify the sender.
• Taking a New Digital Image. If a new digital image is taken, it must meet the following specifications:
Image File Format: The image must be in the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.
Image File Size: The maximum image file size will be sixty-two thousand five hundred (62,500) bytes.
Image Resolution: 320 pixels high by 240 pixels wide. Image Color Depth: 24-bit color [Note: Colored photographs are preferred, but black and white or grayscale photographs, if used, must be scanned in 24-bit color mode. Monochrome images (2-bit color depth), 8-bit color or 8-bit grayscale will not be accepted]
However on the official DV website (http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/photo.aspx) the sample correct picture is 300 X 300 pixels and not 320 x 240. I validated my picture with the photo validator and it says it is ok.
