How to Contribute Photos and Articles
Editors of "big time" car magazines are deluged with invitations to feature this car or that.
Parts suppliers and publicity firms call daily with story leads. Professional writers and
photo-hounds fly off on assignment to capture "glamour shots".
BritishV8 chooses to be different! Most of our content comes from readers like you
who volunteer to research and write articles. We also invite our readers to fill-out
"How It Was Done" article worksheets upon completion of their projects:
Download the How It Was Done article template in
"pdf" format (16KB) or as a Microsoft Word document (38KB).
Please write or e-mail us if you're interested in volunteering a little of your time,
an article, or a photo. You won't have to sweat all editorial details, because we're
happy to proofread, edit, and format your article.
One more thing we really need is your photos! We accept pretty much any original photo
we can get. Obviously, the higher the resolution the better, but we can work with all
digital file types ("jpeg", "tif", etc.) and all conventional media (e.g. prints, slides,
or negatives.) Please make sure to include any information that will help us categorize,
caption or credit the photograph correctly. (See below for additional photo tips and
suggestions.)
Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely,
Curtis Jacobson

Top Ten Tips for Submitting Digital Photos to BritishV8 Magazine
| 1) | Please send the highest resolution - largest file size - versions available. |
| (150KB per JPG photo is good. 1MB is better. Photos of red cars require higher resolution to look their best.) | |
| 2) | Submit lots of photos! |
| 3) | Please don't edit, crop or downsize photos before you send them. Trust us to make photos look their best. |
| (Unless you have a "vanity plate", we'll take care of altering your license/registration plate for you.) |
| 4) | Any popular file format (JPG, TIF, etc.) is fine. |
| 5) | Please don't superimpose captions on top of images. |
| 6) | If your camera has an option to superimpose a date label onto pictures, please turn that feature OFF. |
| 7) | Please don't insert photos in a Word document! They come through much better as individual files. |
| 8) | Please tell us what the photo shows, if it isn't obvious. |
| 9) | Don't send us any photo that belongs to someone else! We can't use "copyrighted" photos without permission. |
| (We won't use any photo that has a visible watermark, including specifically eBay's "camera" watermark.) | |
| 10) | Don't hesitate to send photos of people having fun with their cars. We can't get enough of those. |
You probably take pride in how your car looks... Well, we take pride in how this website looks.
Please follow all these photo submission tips so we can all be satisfied with how cars are
presented on BritishV8.
