Submission Guidelines

All photographers are expected to have appropriate subject releases on photos granting the photographer permission to use the photograph in accordance with the terms and conditions of our website and to provide those releases to OnNigeria images within five business days if requested.

If you do not have a subject release and your image is newsworthy or culturally significant, we will accept the image for editorial use only – meaning that it will not be available for any commercial use.

Do not embed your own watermark, website name, or copyright notice in your images. We protect your images with our own watermark, which is applied when your image is accepted to our site.

Submissions must be wholly owned by the submitter. If you do not have complete rights to the submission, you may not submit it.

Submissions must NOT contain any copyrighted material including paintings, other copyrighted photos, copyrighted logos, or any other art/advertisements/sculptures/exhibits which are copyrighted. If submitted material contains any of these or other types of copyrighted content, you must either submit releases from the copyright owners or you must mark the images as editorial.

We reserve the right to remove any previously accepted submission at any time for any reason from the OnNigeria library.

Images must be at least 4.0MP (4.0 Megapixels).

Explanations of the various Categories

Do choose the correct category. If your image cannot fit into two appropriate categories, please only choose one.

Wildlife – This category is for all animals (domestic and wild), insects, fish, etc. If it breathes and is not human, it goes

Arts/entertainment  – This is a tricky one. This category is for pictures of art objects, or of items used to make art, or people performing the art.

Health Care – Anything with medical subjects would go here.

Architecture and Buildings  – Any structure or structural detail goes here

Business  – This category includes photos of businessmen and women, office photos, photos from financial districts, and pictures of money or money-related items such as calculators, money-counters, etc.

Editorial – These photos cannot be used for commercial purposes without securing additional rights. They include large crowds of people when it is impossible to get a photo release from each person in the crowd.

Education – This category is for photos of anything education-related such as books, classrooms, chalkboards, etc.

Food and Drink – Anything that can be eaten or drunk. Designers love bright, colorful, well focused pictures of food.

Festivals and celebrations – This include: Nigeria Festivals, Carnivals, Independence Day,  Valentine’s Day, etc.  Food and beverage associated with these celebrations would go here too.

Illustrations and Vector Art      – ANYTHING THAT IS NOT A PHOTO. You must list in this category FIRST if you have images that are not photos. Illustrations should not be put in photographic categories such as People or Animals

Industrial – Industry, construction, mining, power, electricity, and heavy equipment. Workmen, blue prints, hardhats, and other items relating to industry. 

Nature – This is for all outdoor images, sunsets, clouds, oceans, and flowers, gardening, and other natural topics.

Isolated Objects – This category is intended for isolated objects uncluttered by background scenes. These photos sell very well. The more bright, clean, and well composed your image, the more likely that it will be downloaded. Items in context will likely go into one of the other categories.

People – If it has a person or body part in it, the image should be in this category. Groups of people also go here.

Sports/Fitness – Any sport on land, in the air, on wheels, hunting, fishing, lifting etc.

Technology – All depictions of office related equipment including computers, cell phones, PDA’s etc. Microchip and other technology go here. CDs and other data devices go here.
