How to Submit a Photo

Seminole State's College Relations and Marketing (CRM) staff encourages Seminole State students, faculty, staff, alumni and community friends to submit images to be considered for use on the Seminole State Web site and the College's official Facebook and Twitter pages.

Image submissions should represent some aspect of Seminole State or its community, events, sites or academics. Images that promote specific collegewide events or activities can be accepted based on the guidelines listed below.

The CRM staff will make the final decision regarding image acceptance. Submission does not guarantee that the image will be used. All submissions will become property of Seminole State and permission to use the image is automatically granted for other Seminole State marketing purposes.

Seminole State's communications staff and graphic designers reserve the right to modify any image prior to use. This may include, but is not limited to, cropping and color correction. Submission of a photo indicates the user has read and agrees to these terms.

General Guidelines

• Any photo taken off-campus that contains recognizable faces must include release forms, which can be downloaded or obtained from CRM on the Sanford/Lake Mary Campus (S002).
• Do not use of the Seminole State logo, Seminole State word marks, Raiders icons or explanatory text in the graphic. Appropriate branding and captioning will be included by CRM to explain the graphic.
• Do not submit images that are out of focus or of poor quality.
• The most common reasons that images are not accepted include:

1. Poor quality
2. Incorrect orientation
3. Inappropriate content
4. Lack of relevance to the Seminole State community
