The “Good For You!” page is a place for reader-submitted photos illustrating community, celebrations and more.
Want to submit a photo for publication?
Here are some guidelines for submissions:
- This page is dedicated to photos of people doing community-related activities here in the region or celebrating accomplishments and recognition of locals.
- Photos should be clear and in focus. We are unable to publish photos that are blurry – a good rule of thumb is if it’s blurry on your screen, it will only look worse in print.
- Photos should be recent. If you took the picture more than a month ago, it’s probably too old to publish. It should also be clear what’s happening in the photo. We should be able to see people’s faces and recognize them.
- Please email your photo to erin@ouraynews.com. In your email, include a description of what’s happening in the photo and please identify the people who are pictured. Dates, the name of the event and first and last names are a must. Please check to make sure names are spelled correctly.
- Submission of photos grants the Plaindealer the right to publish submitted photos. In submitting a photo for consideration, you are claiming to be the owner of the image.
- Please do not submit others’ photographs or work done by professional photographers – they retain the copyrights to their images.
