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.
