Photo Submissions

Images submitted to the Crystal Lakes website are accepted for consideration under the following terms:

1. You retain ownership of any image you contribute which is your original work. Images sent from third parties should only be by permission of the organization or individual who owns it, who also must agree to this submission policy.

2. You understand that submitted images may or may not appear on the Crystal Lakes website and its related forms of publication, now or in the future. We anticipate that each week many more images will be received than space allotted for publication.

3. By submitting any image, you are granting to Crystal Lakes the unrestricted, non-exclusive right to use it now and in the future. This includes modifying the original image dimensions, brightness, contrast, etc., retouching or removal of any visible time stamps or lettering, and adding the customary framing, watermark, etc.

4. Images used become a permanent part of the Crystal Lakes website and its product offerings (calendars, screen savers, etc.) By virtue of appearance on the web, such images also become a permanent part of search engine caching libraries (such as google.com) and online archiving organizations (such as archive.org).

5. Images not immediately used become a permanent part of the Crystal Lakes library of unpublished files, for possible future use. In some cases, contributed images may appear several years after the date they were originally received.

6. The Gallery may link to external sites, which are not necessarily endorsed by Crystal Lakes. The Gallery itself is not intended for commercial use (shopping cart sales, etc.)

7. Crystal Lakes reserves the right at its own discretion to limit or discontinue Gallery albums which appear substantially unrelated to the primary focus and purpose of this website.

8. By submitting any image, you are indicating you have read and understood this policy and agree to its terms.

If you agree to these terms, please email your photo(s) to the webmaster.  

Note:  The preferred format is jpg.  Please include the title/description, photographer's first/last name, and date in the file name(s).  For example:  Catawba Pond - Nancy Smith - November 2009.jpg
