WE NEED YOUR IMAGES!
Our reserves for website images is running extremely low!
Show your work by having it displayed on our website.
In order to give everyone a fair chance, submit only one banner at a time. Once your shot has been used, you may submit another. If you have never submitted a photo before, you get higher priority over people who have previously submitted, so send in your shot now!
Please note that images submitted by non-SCVPA members will not be accepted!
Banner must be exactly 800 pixels wide and up to 400 pixels high.
Send your submissions to the webmaster. Submissions can be any subject, subject to approval. Please name images with your name, and an identifying name for the image. Example: JohnDoe_FallColors.jpg.
Do not submit images with just the camera's file number!
Photos will be displayed with full photographer's credit and may link to your website, pages on Flickr, or other photo sites, if you include the info with the submission. If you have submitted before, include the link anyway; I don't have time to look up that information for past submissions.
