Photo releases
Download the photo release here. Photography that personally identifies individuals or small groups requires a photo release form. Examples include but are not limited to portraits, close-ups of individuals, and small groups with faces clearly defined. Even if you’re submitting in the amateur category, take a tip from the pros and get a signed release of the people you’re photographing.
Digitized photography
All photographs must be submitted digitally through ShineAtUST.com in a JPEG or .jpg format, 5 MB or smaller and at least 300 dpi. While the submitted copies must be digital, the original images may be scanned negatives, prints or slides.
