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.

By selecting 'I agree' and submitting your photos, you are letting us know that you have read and agree to the conditions above.

Suggested guidelines

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 you can. (Although in some cases e-mail systems won't accept a file larger than 5 megabytes.)

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.

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