Lost the edges of my landscape piece after upload

I made a wide digital painting for the monthly showcase. The site's auto-crop feature cut off the horizon. How can I stop this from happening again?

I always add a 20 pixel solid color border around my wide pieces before uploading. It tricks most auto-crop systems into treating the whole image as the area to keep, so my actual painting stays intact. I just crop the border off after download if I need the original.

Honestly 15 pixel solid border works better.
