Round the World Images is an independent image library featuring the people and places of the world. We supply high quality imagery and feature some less obvious subjects that will not be found elsewhere. We are expanding our contributor base and welcome submissions from photographers. If you want to submit your images, please follow these steps:
  1. Register. When registering, select Photographer as your Company type, this will allow us to treat you as a photographer and not a client. Registering with the correct details is very important and will allow us to manage our relationship efficiently.
  2. Browse the site. Have a good look around, the more you are familiar with us the better you will be able to shoot for the market.
  3. Submission Requirements. For your images to be accepted they must meet our submission guidelines. Read these carefully and use the checklist to make sure your images meet the requirements.
  4. Send us images! Please send us a TEST selection with a minimum of 50 images on a DVD for the attention of the Library Manager, Round the World Images World on Film Limited Unit 6, Wrotham Business Park Barnet, Herts EN5 4SZ
