2. You know who took or owns the photo and they gave you permission to use it.
Feel free to use CMTA logos or banners.
3. You used photos that are not under copyright, like those licensed through
Creative Commons (search.creativecommons.org) or in copyright-free images
found online or in collections.

Also, we’d love to use your photos for our informational brochures, appeals and on our
website. Please only send high resolution photos to your branch manager.g If using an
iPhone, choose the “Actual Size” option when you send. Photos must be clear and in
focus.

posters, flyers, or social media advertisements for your event.

the “Add to Registry” button on this page. When you click the button a new line will
