What makes an image eligible?

Atchafalaya Basin places, things, people, or experiences are perfect subjects. Subject matter must be suitable for publication on the State portal and must be appropriate for viewing by the general public. Louisiana Department of Natural Resources retains the right to determine what will constitute inappropriate content.

Due to the high volume of photo submissions, it is necessary that we apply some criteria to the images that are chosen. Images must be clear and focused, have no date stamps on them, be a minimum of 400 pixels in width or height. Images from cell phones are not generally usable due to their small size.

Use of Pictures for Featured Photo on Louisiana.gov

All images submitted will be considered. Only pictures meeting the above criteria as judged by the State of Louisiana staff will be displayed on Louisiana.gov. Staff reserves the right to edit captions to remove names, correct spelling or to enhance the description of the image.
