Send Us Your Photos!
If you take any photos while visiting the park that you would like us to share with others on the Internet, please send them to us! For consideration, a photo must be taken in the park, of high quality, and be pertinent to the natural, scientific, and historical resources of the Big Bend National Park.
Due to Internet security issues it is not possible to submit photographs directly through this web site. For additional information on how to submit photographs for consideration please contact the park webmaster.
A note of advice about your pictures
We love receiving your images, and use them not only in this photo gallery but also in park publications. Photographs showing people using the park or unusual features are far more likely to be posted than yet another image of The Window or Santa Elena Canyon—be different and find your best pictures!
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR PICTURES:
What type of pictures will be accepted?
- digital image files (bmp, tif & jpg)
- we will scan your print photographs and return them (please ask before you send)
- ideally, the photograph should illustrate the unique natural, scientific, and historical resources of the Big Bend National Park
- please limit your submissions to no more than a couple of photographs at a time
- NOTE: Links to photographs posted elsewhere on the Internet will not be accepted (i.e., other photogalleries); only attached image files will be considered.
When submitting digital photographs, the following information is required:
- photographer's name
- the photo's title, subject, or location taken
- the date the photo was taken
By submitting photos, you agree:
- that the submitted photos can be used by Big Bend National Park and the National Park Service.
- Any added caption or personal trademark will be cropped.
- the submitted photos may be downloaded or copied by others.
- the photos are selected based on uniqueness and appropriateness.
- that not all photos will be selected.
