Dorset’s Big Picture: Guidelines for Image Submissions

The BBC invites viewers to daily appreciate Dorset’s beauty through submitted images. Contributions can be made via BBC Weather Watchers or by emailing southweather@bbc.co.uk. Instructions for picture submission reiterate the use of BBC Weather Watchers or the email address southweather@bbc.co.uk. For creative guidance, tips from three of England’s Big Picture photographers are available. When submitting images via email, specific accompanying information is required. While all submissions are welcome, pictures taken within the last week have a higher likelihood of being featured. An archive of previously featured pictures is accessible on Instagram, identifiable by the hashtags #bbcdorset and #DorsetsBigPicture. Submitting a picture constitutes acceptance of the BBC’s Terms and Conditions and its privacy policy. By contributing to Dorset’s Big Picture, individuals grant the BBC a royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to publish and utilize the material as desired, across all media globally. It is important to note that contributors retain copyright ownership of their submissions to Dorset’s Big Picture, and if an image is selected, the contributor’s name will be published alongside it. The BBC does not guarantee the use of all submitted pictures and reserves the right to edit accompanying comments.
