1. Be sure to set your digital camera to the highest quality setting.

2. E-mail photo files in their original form, uncropped and untouched. If submitting a print, please make sure it is sharply in focus and all of the faces can be seen clearly.

3. Send us your very best image. Photos that are taken in locations with plenty of soft, even light (like a window with indirect sunlight) will look best and print sharply when they appear in The Globe.

4. Color images of 1 megabyte or larger work best.
