Wanted: your IYA2009 photographs!

18 September 2009

IYA2009 is a great opportunity to take amazing pictures of the night sky, star parties, exhibitions, school activities, talks, and other events. The IYA2009 Secretariat invites you all to submit your pictures to be used in products such as like press releases, brochures, and the final report.

Images are being collected in the official IYA2009 Flickr group. Flickr is a popular photo-sharing website. Free accounts are available, and are easy to create. For those wanting a walkthrough of the process, only five steps are required:

Create an account.
Upload photos with the highest resolution possible.
Go to the IYA2009 Group and select "Join This Group"
Then add your IYA2009 photos to the group.
Go to each photo's page and click on the copyright information, which is the first option under "Additional Information" in the right menu. Then select "Attribution Creative Commons"

The licensing information allows the IYA2009 Secretariat to use your work as part of official products, and also guarantees that the image will not be changed and that the author will be credited. If your photograph is selected to be used, you will be contacted by a member of the IYA2009 team.
