Here & Now: Submit a file
Send Your Photo or Video
Share your Illinois experience by emailing a photo or video to hereandnow@illinois.edu. We'll select at least five photos a week to appear in the slide show and feature the best video. Anyone may submit a file as long as it's relevant to the campus.
What to Send
Include your name, phone number, and a description of what's happening, including who, what, when, where, how, and why.
Photos must be less than 5 MB and videos should be no longer than 3 minutes. Videos must be either a Quicktime (.mov) file, a Flash Video file (.flv) or a Windows Media file (.wmv). Only one submission a week, please, of good, clean fun only; while creative, offbeat, and inventive images are welcome here, if you wouldn't share them with your extended family at a holiday dinner, you probably shouldn't submit them.
Submission Guidelines
Each submitter grants the University a non-exclusive license to use, publish, display, reproduce, and distribute the submitted images and video, in whole or in part. All rights to the original work are retained by the copyright holder. Captions may be used as submitted or rewritten.
By submitting the file, you agree that you're responsible for securing all necessary permissions, that you have obtained them, and that the University can remove the image in its sole discretion at any time.
For Faculty and Staff
Every person submitting photos or videos should consider what permissions and signed releases need to be obtained. Faculty and staff members, acting in an official capacity and as an agent of the University of Illinois, should be especially mindful of those requirements. Guidelines with links to campus model, talent, and location release forms are here as a pdf or here as a Web page.
Questions/Privacy
Those with questions or concerns should send an email to to the campus Webmaster.
