Full Instructions

If you’d like to have one of your urban photos featured in an upcoming #UrbanPixels post, check out the below instructions. We love being social, but a few rules helps us make sure we can feature your photos in an efficient manner!

1. Follow @theurbantimes on Twitter (so that we can direct message you if we wish to use your photo).

2. Tweet the photo(s) to us @theurbantimes, and make sure to include “#UrbanPixel” in the tweet. (The best way to get your photo seen on twitter is to make sure ‘@theurbantimes‘ is not at the start of your tweet but somewhere in the body – this will allow your tweet to become searchable and not private).

3. If we think your photo adequately meets the current #UrbanPixel theme, @theurbantimes will respond to you with an email address. When we do, please send us your photo(s) with a brief description and/or backstory. Note: The submitted photos must be at least 990 pixels wide to qualify.

While we can’t include all of the photo we receive in #UrbanPixel posts, we appreciate every tweet we get! Good luck, and happy urban-shooting.
