The SSA Photo Gallery is back and we're looking for more great soaring pictures.

Submission Guidlines
Our preference is digital format but we can also accept prints, negatives or slides; however we regret that we cannot return traditional photographic materials. While we will try to post your photographs in a timely fashion, you should be aware that sometimes it may take a few days due to other priorities, and sometimes it may not be possible to include your photograph. Note also that we may use any submitted photograph for other purposes (e.g. in promotional material, SOARING magazine, etc.) and that by submitting a photograph for consideration you are agreeing to the SSA release of copyright statement below.

We like to give credit for photographs. To facilitate this, all submitted photos, including digital files, should be identified with the name of the photographer, the date taken and a title. An example of a suitably named digital file would be "Joe Smith - 123105 - L23 Blanik.jpg". Additionally, please include a short description in the body of the e-mail about the photograph (where, who, what, etc.) and your SSA membership ID.

SSA members can post photos by clicking here or you can send them here.
