About Quito Cover Photo Contest

Get your photo published on the cover of a guidebook (and win $100 doing so)!

VIVA Travel Guides is currently looking for photos for its upcoming city guidebook to Quito, Ecuador.

To enter using Flickr:

•Choose your best color photos to be considered for the cover.

•Upload your photos to your Flickr account, and then to the relative Flickr contest group. You will have to join the group before you can upload photos to that group's pool.

•Photos must be saved as portrait layout, and croppable to 1650x2250 pixels.

•Enter the following information in the photo's description:

-Where the photo was taken.
-What year the photo was taken (Note: photos taken over three years ago will not be considered in the contest.)
- 1-3 sentences describing your photo.


By putting the photos up in your own Flickr account, you control them and the comments they receive. If you are unable to create a Flickr account, please email us at photocontests@vivatravelguides.com. Please enter your color photos only as described above. Unfortunately, we can only accept digital files, not prints, CDs, etc.


What can I enter?

Feel free to enter:

•photos taken anywhere in the respective countries.
•color photos (black and white will be considered for inside the book, but not the cover)
•photos taken within the last three years.
•photos that may have been published or used elsewhere (as long as you hold the copyright!)
•photos with minor burning, dodging, and/or color correction are acceptable. Hand tinting is acceptable, as is cropping. Fish-eye lenses are acceptable.

Please don't enter photos that:

•you didn't take, or for which someone else owns the copyright.
•serve mainly to advertise a product.
•show nudity, drugs, violence, or symbols/acts of hatred.
•are illegal or prohibited.
•violate Flickr's community guidelines.

Note: We reserve the right to disqualify photos for any reason.


How many photos can I enter?
As many as you want!


How will you choose the winners?
The VIVA editorial team will choose among the best photos. If your photo is selected, you will be notified via your Flickr account.


What do the winners receive?
Cover photo winners receive $100, plus all the fame and glory of being a cover page published photographer! If your photo doesn't make the cover, don't dismay: runners up will also get their photo inside the guidebook.

Who owns the copyright?
You maintain copyright of all your photos, and will always be credited
when your photos are displayed. By submitting your photo(s), you agree to all the terms above and grant V!VA Travel Guides an unlimited, non-exclusive license to display and modify your photos, including, but not limited to, publication by V!VA Travel Guides in printed materials, websites, or our intranet.
