If you’re here it’s probably because we’ve requested additional rights in sharing and using your photo.

We regularly reach out to social media users to request additional rights to reproduce our favourite images in our emails, on our websites and elsewhere. Whenever possible, we also include your handle or byline.

Thank you for considering this request. It is entirely your choice whether to share or not, but we think people will love your post!

By responding to our request with the hashtag YesYouCanberra you agree to the following:
