The Outdoor Recreation Network welcomes the submission of
your material for display in our family of publications. There are some submission
guidelines which apply to all of the Outdoor Recreation Network publications
and, in addition, each gallery section may have its own submission guidelines
and requirements specific to the needs of that gallery. Please read all of the
guidelines and requirements carefully (especially the legal stuff) before making
a submission.

Specific Guidelines for the Trail Shots & Tough Spots Galleries:
- Be sure that your read and understand the general submission guidelines
below.
- All photographs should be action oriented trail photographs of high quality and suitable for publication.
- In general we will decline to publish photographs which knowingly depict illegal actions, or actions promoting inherently environmentally damaging activities.
- Material is published solely at the discreption of the editors of ORN as information and news, and as information and news we do not necessarily endorse or encourage any of the activities that may be depicted in the images (in other words - "kids, don't try this at home").
- Submit 4x4 material via e-mail to: 4x4shots@4x4wire.com .
- Submit MTB material via e-mail to: mtbshots@outdoorwire.com .
- Submit other trail action shots (such as dirtbike, ATV, etc) to trailshots@outdoorwire.com .
General Submission Guidelines for ORN:
- All photographs or pictures should be submitted in electronic format. The
preferred format for photographs is .JPG (or .JPEG), saved at high quality
with no compression - the use of any other format will cause delays in the
processing of your submission and may be cause for us not to publish your submission. Other much less desirable but acceptable formats
are .GIF, .BMP & .TIF (.TIFF). If you do not have access to a personal
scanner, many places that make copies or process photographs can scan your
photographs for you.
- In general all photographs should be at least 640x480 (or 480x640) pixels
or larger in size (if possible), however the file size for each photograph
submitted should not exceed 1 MB (1000kb).
- Submissions should be made via E-mail to the indicated e-mail address for
the gallery (some galleries may also provide forms for this).
The files should be included in the E-mail as attachments.
- Do NOT "zip" or otherwise compress, package, or encode your submissions.
If you are submitted from AOL, please submit one file at a time to avoid
the automatic "zip" by AOL's mailer.
- All photographs should include the date the photograph was taken, the location
the photograph was taken, details on the subject of the photograph and the
phone number and address of the submittor (for our internal use only).
- All photographs must include the photographer's name and a valid
e-mail address.
- ORN will display a photographers credit either in the caption of the photograph
or in the HTML "alt tag" of the photograph unless you request that
ORN not do this. This credit typically only includes the photographer's, or
in the case of commercial submissions, the company name.
