Are you a weekend high school, youth or community sports media warrior? If you are taking photos or videos and would like to display them here on the DigitalSports D.C. Metro website, then FanShare is for you!
Getting started with FanShare is easy:
Step 1: Capture your favorite sports moments in PHOTOS, VIDEOS, ARTICLES, or all three!
Step 2: Send us your media.
Step 3: A DigitalSports D.C. Metro FanShare Referee will review your media.
Step 4: You will be contacted so that we can verify your information.
Step 5: Upon verification, your media will be posted to the DigitalSports D.C. Metro website and/or its sub-sites.
Step 6: Show all of your friends and family how great your media is!
Now, let’s break down each step in a little more detail:
Steps 1 and 2
Photos: There are hundreds of digital cameras out there! Most however, allow you to take photos in the .jpg format. This is a good thing, because this is the format we need your photos to be in. Also, please keep your file size to under 10 mb per photo. If you’re not sure how big your file sizes are, send one photo to us and we can let you know if you’re on the right track. Lastly…tell us about your photos! You can give each a caption or your can tell us in a paragraph or two what they are all about.
Video: Video is a bit more complicated, but you’ll be happy to know that we do accept most all types of video files. If you are an advanced user and can send us files in a .flv format, then please send us those files. If, like most people, you don’t know the difference between a .avi and a .mpg, then just send us what you have and we’ll work with you to streamline the process. As with photos, please tell us what the video is! What game or event is it from? Who’s in it? What’s happening in the video? Let us know!
Stories: All you have to do to get us a story is…send us your story! Either attach a word document or write it right in the email itself.
Regardless of what you send, please tell us about YOU. Please include your name, phone number, what team you represent (if applicable), etc. We will need to contact you for verification purposes.
PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO SEND YOUR CONTENT.
Steps 3 and 4
The rules are simple – keep your media clean and fun and it will be posted! Your media will be reviewed by a DigitalSports D.C. Metro FanShare Referee, and they do this to 1) check for improper footage and 2) check to make sure the formats are correct and usable. If your content is usable (which we’re sure it will be since you took the time to shoot it and send it!), we will then contact you to verify your identity and to let you know your content has been approved.
Steps 5 and 6
Your content will then be posted into all of the appropriate places and we’ll let you know where those places are. When you see your content online you’ll be able to share it with everyone by using the Share Features that are available throughout the website.
