Photo Submission Guidelines

Its All About You
  • No group photos - each photo should include only one individual.
  • No selfies - please have someone take your photograph for you.
Dress Gameday Ready
  • Throw on your best Gopher Gear and strike a pose!
  • No other NCAA or professional sports teams logos or brands will be allowed. No advertising, business, or political brands allowed.  
  • If you wear glasses, tilt your head slightly to avoid a glare and/or the camera flash. 
Quality Matters
  • Be sure to take your photo in appropriate lighting. Make sure there are no bright lights behind you from mirrors, windows, or light fixtures.
  • Make sure the photo is NOT blurry or distorted in any way.
Choose the Right Background
  • Locate a solid color wall, different from the color of shirt you are wearing. Sheets/Towels/Blankets can be used as a backdrop if needed. 
  • Maintain your privacy! Keep personal or private information out of the background.
