City of Austin Bicycle Program Looks for Photos
You may have heard this request before, but since I have received no pictures (that’s ZIP, ZERO, NONE, NOTHING, NIL, ZILCH), I am imploring you to please, please send us your pictures.
Here is the original request:
The City of Austin’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Program is updating its Bike Plan and is looking for some great photos of citizens riding their bikes in Austin to include in the printed and online versions of the Plan. If you’d like to submit a photo to be considered for inclusion, please see the following guidelines:
• Photos should be in a JPG format. There is a 2MB size limit.
• Please identify where the photo was taken and the names of the people in the photo.
• By submitting photographs to the City of Austin, you represent that you are the owner or have permission from the owner to do so at no charge for editorial use. You further represent the photos are not manipulated insofar as depicting reality and have not used electronic means to introduce or remove content from the photograph. You authorize The City of Austin, the Public Works Department and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Program any of its agents or affiliates to publish and republish the photo in either print or electronic versions of the Bike Plan, but not to sell individual reproductions of your work. You retain ownership of the work and in no way surrender any copyright. You also agree that you as owner or artist of the offered work may be identified as such when published, and that there is no guarantee of publication made by acceptance of your submission.
