Submissions are first checked by our hard-working editors before being published to make sure those submissions are family-friendly. Approval does not usually take very long. Usually the same day - and you can check on the current status of all your submissions at any time.
 
 

A:

Any pictures (up to three) that capture your experience and help tell you story are pictures we'd like to see. We know from feedback we receive that the best pictures are those that are authentic and really capture the moment, that make us feel like we are there with the person taking the photo. So, where possible, plan your shot and have it tell part of the story as vividly as you can. Of course, family-friendly rules apply. For more info on how to take the best shots, click here.
