Submit Your Work

We want to see and share more from both our local and international readers, so we’ve decided to officially open the doors and welcome all relevant photographic submissions.

By using the form below you can submit your photographic or video project, product review or even an editorial contribution if you have some knowledge to share. To be sure your submission meets our requirements, you can find the full guidelines below.

So what do we require from the ideal submission?

• Please make sure you complete the form below, we want to tell the full story, so it’s important that we have all the information we might need.
• Please note due to the number of submissions receive we can’t publish everything that gets submitted to us. Each submission is carefully looked at to make sure it fits in with the general look and feel of the Orms Connect blog. In addition to that, we consider the following: What makes the submission interesting / different? Is it educational, something other aspiring photographers could learn from? Does it inspire others? These are some of the elements we will be looking for, so keep that in mind when you consider submitting your project.
• We prefer to feature stories that have not been published elsewhere. So please try to keep it exclusive if possible, at least until after we’ve published it. We can make exceptions, so please do get in touch and tell us where it has been published. Naturally, your own website is perfectly fine.
• Choose your images carefully, instead of sending us everything, select the best from your project. We only accept images that have been captured by a professional photographer, we will credit you for your work – so please try to avoid using watermarks (although small subtle watermarks are ok).
• Tell the story, remember to include what the project is about. If you are the photographer, start by giving us a little background (what you do, what you specialise in, where you are based). Regardless of what you are sharing; be it an editorial contribution called “5 Tips on how to photograph the sunset” or sharing drone footage from a recent trip to the Amazon – the images or video footage alone isn’t enough, so please include the story!
• Read the blog. If you read the blog on a regular basis, you will know what type of content we like, this will also help you select the perfect story to submit.

We can’t wait to see what you’ve shared!
