Before you submit: important legal information

By submitting your files you are letting us know that you have read and agree to the conditions of the CBC Privacy Policy | Submissions Policy.

Everyone who submits a photograph for our image gallery must read and agree to the following release. If you are under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must agree to the terms of this agreement on your behalf.

Photo release

I agree that the CBC may use the Photograph that I have submitted under the following terms and conditions:

1. I own this Photograph, and I own all the rights, including copyright, necessary to submit this Photograph to CBC.
2. I am the sole owner of copyright on this Photograph, and I understand that I am granting CBC the nonexclusive right to use it in any way that CBC sees fit.
3. I consent to indemnify CBC against any claim, demand, action, suit, or other proceedings against CBC arising out of the use of the photograph and related to any false or inaccurate statement.
4. I grant this authorization free of charge.
5. Participants who have modeled or posed in the photo have assigned all relevant rights to me.

Suggested guidelines for photos

We want the photographs that you decide to submit to CBC.ca to be the best possible.

Please consider these guidelines.

1. Send us the pictures as jpgs at the maximum size of 5mb. (Although in some cases e-mail systems won't accept a file larger than 5 megabytes.)

2. We prefer images that are 1280 pixels horizontal or vertical because our photo galleries have a full screen option. We can crop or reduce larger pictures. We can also use good pictures that are shot at a smaller size.

3. The picture should not have the time and date embedded by the camera visible on the image.

4. The photograph should tell the CBC.ca viewer a story, be well exposed and have interesting composition.

5. Please include your full name and a telephone number where we can contact you. If we can't call you, we can't use your photos. And we might want more information from you about them.

6. Our normal procedure when we use submitted photos is to give the photographer a credit in this format: Photo: Mary Q. Public. If you do not wish a photo credit please indicate that in your email.
