Do:

Submit high-quality photos and videos (minimum resolution: 1200×1800 or 2MB).
Get permission from the subject(s) of the photos/videos before submitting.
Capture the community, culture, natural beauty, and spirit of your host country.
Feel free to create vlog-style videos, such as “A Day in the Life.”
Wear Arcadia swag, if possible.
Include a caption or a description of the video / photo so we can best depict and describe it.

Don’t:

Submit photos or videos shot by someone other than you.
Enter pictures of landmarks unless you or your classmates are prominently featured. We want to see you exploring your Preview destination.
Send us the same subject from different angles. Be selective with your submissions.
Submit photos of cats, dogs, flowers, camels—we love ’em, but we also have those here!

Images must be high-resolution (at least 2MB) and can be lightly modified (color-corrected, cropped). Entries that are visibly Photoshopped will not be considered.
