The Guardian is expanding its use of reader-submitted photographs in a series of online picture galleries, building on the tradition of featuring brilliant images on its print letters page since 2014. Readers are encouraged to share their work, with the focus on image quality rather than subject matter.
The call covers a wide range of genres, including reportage, portraits, extraordinary weather events, travel photography, and images of the places readers live in or the wildlife they share them with. The publication emphasizes that the subject matter is up to the photographer, as long as the image is of high quality.
Submission Guidelines
To be considered for the letters page or online galleries, readers should upload the highest resolution possible. Landscape or square images are preferable, but strong portrait images will also be considered. Photographers should provide as much detail as possible about when and where the photo was taken, as well as what was happening at the time.
When an image is published, the Guardian credits the photographer, so contributors must ensure they provide their full name and contact information.
How to Submit
Photos can be submitted through an online form. If the form is not visible, a direct link is provided. Contributors must be 18 or over and may share their story anonymously if they wish. All responses are secure, as the form is encrypted and only the Guardian has access to the contributions. Personal data is used solely for the purpose of the feature and is deleted when no longer required.
For alternative secure ways to get in touch, readers can consult the tips guide. The Guardian looks forward to seeing readers' work and hearing from them.
