4x4Wire welcomes the submission of your material for display in our family of publications. There are some submission guidelines which apply to all of the 4x4Wire publications and, in addition, each gallery section may have its own submission guidelines and requirements specific to the needs of that gallery. Please read all of the guidelines and requirements carefully (especially the legal stuff) before making a submission.

Specific Guidelines for the Trail Shots & Readers Rides:

• Be sure that your read and understand the general submission guidelines below.
• In general we will decline to publish photographs which knowingly depict illegal actions, or actions promoting inherently environmentally damaging activities.
• Material is published solely at the discretion of the editors of 4x4Wire as information and news, and as information and news we do not necessarily endorse or encourage any of the activities that may be depicted in the images (in other words - "kids, don't try this at home").
• Please include the following: Driver, make & model of rig, photographer, date, and any modifications.  If you do not include this info, we will most likely not post your picture.
• Please limit Readers Rides submissions to one picture.  We may on occasion include more than one, but it will be at our discretion.
• Submit 4x4 material via e-mail to: 4x4shots@4x4wire.com .
• Submit your Toyota Reader's Rides via email to: ToyShots@4x4Wire.com.

General Submission Guidelines for 4x4Wire:

• All photographs or pictures should be submitted in electronic format. The preferred format for photographs is .JPG (or .JPEG), saved at high quality with no compression - the use of any other format will cause delays in the processing of your submission and may be cause for us not to publish your submission. Other much less desirable but acceptable formats are .GIF, .BMP & .TIF (.TIFF). If you do not have access to a personal scanner, many places that make copies or process photographs can scan your photographs for you.
• In general all photographs should be at least 640x480 (or 480x640) pixels or larger in size (if possible), however the file size for each photograph submitted should not exceed 1 MB (1000kb).
• Submissions should be made via E-mail to the indicated e-mail address for the gallery (some galleries may also provide forms for this).
  The files should be included in the E-mail as attachments.
  
• Do NOT "zip" or otherwise compress, package, or encode your submissions. If you are submitted from AOL, please submit one file at a time to avoid the automatic "zip" by AOL's mailer.
• All photographs should include the date the photograph was taken, the location the photograph was taken, details on the subject of the photograph and the phone number and address of the submittor (for our internal use only).
• All photographs must include the photographer's name and a valid e-mail address.
• 4x4Wire will display a photographer's credit either in the caption of the photograph or in the HTML "alt tag" of the photograph unless you request that 4x4Wire not do this. This credit typically only includes the photographer's, or in the case of commercial submissions, the company name.
