PHOTO SUBMISSIONS
MTT wants ALL of our readers to be a part of the news. If you have a newsworthy photo of a person, place, or thing (especially in Tokyo, Japan, or any part of the world), feel free to send it to us.
Photo Submission Specs:
- Images must be RGB JPG or PNG format only
- You must own the full copyright to any image you submit to us. This means you must be the photographer or artist that created the photo or image. Do not send to us a photo or image that is copyrighted by somebody else. If you do, legal action will be taken against you.
- All trademarks must be removed. This includes logos, brands and entities with copyright or trademarked elements. Copyright is checked with each file.
- File sizes: All files should be 1200 x 1600 pixels, 300dpi minimum (anything smaller will be automatically rejected).
- Model releases: Images with clearly visible people require a model release form for legal reasons. A legal guardian or parent must sign for all children under the age of 18 years.
