Want to submit a photo or story? Click here. Not sure yet? Check out our Q&A below. (And be sure to check out all the legal blahbity-blah below that.)
Q: Does the photo have to be taken at a PROM ?
A: No. Any teenage dance-like event, where formal(ish) attire is expected will do. Think Junior High, winter formals, debutante balls, early college formals, or whatever sort of parties you crazy non-American teens did.
Q: Do the photos have to be of, uh, people?
A: Technically, no. Photos can be of tricked-out gymnasiums, limos, shoes, hairdos, you name it.
Q: Do the photos have to be of me?
A: No, but please don’t send images that you don’t have the rights to. It’d also be cool if we didn’t get angry emails from your dates from 15 years ago.
Q: I want to submit my picture, but can you black out or blur the other people’s faces from the image?
A: Yes, just be sure to indicate who needs to go undercover. If you submit a photo with faces pre-blocked, that’s okay, too.
Q: Can you link to my Flickr page (or other photo site, or blog, or website, or…)?
A: If you want the photo to be attributed, please include the link.
