  1. What are your Photo Submission Guidelines?

  2. WANTED: TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS

    Webshots is always looking for incredible photography! If you're a professional photographer who shoots color transparencies, our photo editors want to see them.

    Here's what our users say about Webshots:

    ? "Webshots gives me a feeling of peace."
    ? "It allows me to escape to beautiful places."
    ? "Webshots brings color and imagination to my desktop."
    ? "It's my escape from boring reality of everyday office life."

    Here's what our photographers say about Webshots:

    "Licensing my images with the Webshots Gallery was a clear turning point in my photography business. Since Webshots is probably the world's most popular photographic site, my images have had great worldwide exposure. This has made all the difference. In addition to the monthly royalty payments from Webshots, I get far more inquiries and sales than before - most of which originate from Webshots. Thank you for helping me make my photography business a success."

    Specifications - Transparencies and Slides

    For best reproduction quality, we prefer original slides, but we accept duplicate slides for initial consideration (make sure you indicate they are duplicates). To ensure their safety, slides should be placed in plastic slide pages and each should be clearly labeled with your name and a caption. Please include specific subject and location information. Loose and/or uncaptioned slides will not be considered. Please do not submit unless you have a minimum of 60 images (150+ optimal). Note that due to desktop format, we prefer horizontal photos to vertical.

    Formats accepted: 35mm slides + larger sized transparencies (i.e. 4x5, 6x7)

    Specifications - Digital Files

    Although we prefer slides, we do accept digital submissions on CD-ROM. Please note that we require a final resolution of 5400x3600 @ 300 dpi. Few digital cameras are capable of reaching a resolution that high, but Webshots will consider images taken with cameras 11 megapixels and higher. Please save the images in .jpg format at high quality level 10 (if saving in Photoshop).

    Submit all CD images at 1600x1200 @ 72 dpi and also include one image at 5400x3600 @ 300 dpi so we may better evaluate your scan quality. This one should be the best representation of your work. All images must be artifact-free and color corrected to be considered. If you scan your own work, please note that you'll need a scanner that can "optically" produce files at a minimum of 4000 dpi. Images interpolated more than 30% will not be accepted. Please include a caption list to correspond to the file name. A Xerox copy of a thumbnail sheet is preferred to accompany the CD-ROM, but is not required.

    PLEASE NOTE: 1) We do not accept prints, and 2) We do not accept promiscuous imagery. BOTH WILL BE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY.

    Mailing Requirements

    You must include a self-addressed stamped envelope (or account number if you prefer to have your submission returned via FedEx or UPS). Webshots will use reasonable efforts to return materials within six weeks of receipt. However, Webshots urges all members to maintain backup versions of materials sent to Webshots to guard against losses of any kind. Webshots is not responsible for any loss of slides, photographs, film, data and/or files, nor is it required to return any slides, photographs, film, data and/or files submitted to it.

    IN NO EVENT SHALL WEBSHOTS, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, AGENTS, CO-BRAND PARTNERS, LICENSORS, OR EMPLOYEES HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS, EXPENSE, DAMAGE OR COST, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY RESULTING FROM MISPLACEMENT, LOSS, DAM
