Basic Requirements.
» Your photographs should portray a part of Guatemala: its cities, landscapes, flora, fauna, traditions, people, history, art and culture. You may also publish pictures taken abroad as long as the theme is related to Guatemala or Mexicans throughout history: monuments, squares, holidays, etc. We cannot publish pictures where people are deliberately posing (for example, informal family pictures), unless they are artistic or represent a part of Guatemala's people and everyday life. You may also send abstract or artistic photos.

Copyright.
» GuatemalaEnFotos is extremely respectful of copyright laws. You should be the author of all photographs you publish with us or at least have the photographer's consent. If the author is your relative or friend you need to inform us of their name, so proper credit can be given. We do not publish pictures copied from other websites, unless you own the copyright. Each image will bear your name and our logo and you will be added to our list of photographers. Any pictures found to be in violation of these terms will be immediately deleted from our database.

Technical Aspects.
» You may send your pictures in any digital format. The pictures´s longest side should be at last 640 pixels. Printed photos may be easily converted to digital format using a scanner. Photographs may be color, black and white or any other artistic mode (sepia, watercolor, etc)
