Your news, your pictures - how to submit to the BBC
July 21st 2010 00:25
News can happen anywhere at any time and we want you to be our eyes.
If you capture a news event on a camera or mobile phone, either as a photograph or video, then please send it to BBC News.
Spot news
We have received thousands of images from around the world of both major news events and local issues.
It was you who captured some of the most powerful images from major events such as the attack on the London transport network in July 2005, the storms that swept the UK in January 2007 and the Asian tsunami of December 2004.
If you take a picture of any event you should not endanger yourself or others, take any unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.
Your perspective
Remember, whilst we are after news images we're also interested in your visual interpretation of both local and global issues as well as just great pictures of your daily lives.
Each week our picture editor will select and publish the best of those each Friday - so do keep on sending them in.
What we need
You can submit video, single photographs or a series that tell a story for a photo essay.
Remember that we do need some text to accompany the pictures.
Any photographs or video directly related to a current news event may be used immediately on any BBC News outlet.
How to submit a picture
So if you think you have a news photograph or video we may be interested in, send it to the BBC News website.
If you want to e-mail it to us, send it to yourpics@bbc.co.uk.
If you want to send a picture message from your mobile phone then ideally use the email function and send it to the above address.
If you need to send it via MMS and you are within the UK you can send it to our short code number 61124.
If you are outside the UK then send it to 44 (0)7725 100 100 and include your contact number as text within the message.
Add the above e-mail address and MMS numbers to your mobile phone and address books now - you never know when you may capture that historic moment.
Don't forget to include your name and some background information as to what the image is about and why you took the picture as this will increase your chances of selection.
You should also include your telephone number so we can get back to you.
