Photo Guidelines

Submissions may be made via parks.service@brent.gov.uk

Here are guidelines to consider when taking and submitting your photos/images:

  • We accept photograph/ images in digital format only.
  • For our purposes, horizontal/ landscape images work better than vertical/ portrait ones.
  • Pictures should be sent as Jpeg files.
  • Pictures shouldn't be larger than 5Mb and ideally much smaller: around 1Mb is fine, or you can resize your pictures to 1,000 pixels across and then save as a Jpeg.
  • Entries must be labelled with the entrant’s name and location of the photograph/ image.
  • If your photograph/ image features any person or people, they should be aware that they are being photographed and permission should be obtained from all involved (or their parent's/guardian's permission if under 16) for their photograph to be submitted. If it is clear that the people are not aware of their picture being taken or are embarrassed in any way by any image we receive, Brent Council reserves the right to not use the image.
  • We do not want photograph/ image of the playgrounds, especially if it features children in the image. Please avoid including children in your photographs/ images that could identify them.
  • Finally, when taking photos, please do not endanger yourself or others, take unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.
