Interested in learning more about The AJC.com's AJC Cover Photo? Here you'll find all you need to know, including the purpose of the Cover Photo, ways to submit photos for consideration and an archive of past photos used on the AJC.com homepage as well as the AJC.com local neighborhood pages.
What is The AJC.com Cover Photo?
The AJC.com Cover Photo is selected to connect AJC.com visitors with true Atlanta landmarks or sites of interest. You may notice the Cover Photo updating throughout the day as the sun rises and sets or as nighttime falls upon the city. And The AJC.com staff may surprise visitors with special Cover Photos so be on the lookout! Regular visitors to our AJC Facebook page will also notice some similarities between the Cover Photos on AJC.com as well as the cover photos used on our Facebook page.
Can users submit a photo for consideration?
Absolutely! The AJC.com staff welcomes submissions for the Cover Photo. Because we have some images we won't accept, below are some guidelines...
- We're looking for photos that represent what's happening in Atlanta right now - we want to know what YOUR Atlanta looks like!
- The space we have available to showcase your work is very tight - so please consider the crop when submitting a photo. The photo size accepted is 1375x215 pixels.
- While we love Atlantans and our site visitors, please don't submit photos of individual people.
- Please don't include any text overlays on your image.
- AJC.com staff will contact you if your image is selected and we will do our best to let you know when your image will be on the website.
And, to keep our lawyers happy:
