Every month we give away a £25 discount voucher to the person who sends us the best photos that month (increased from £20 to £25 from December 2012)

Why?...
We believe that showing what a product actually looks like when installed in a vehicle gives a better idea of it's size and where it can be put - "real life" photos of our items in customers vehicles are so much better for this than boring white-background studio shots

What we'll do with the photos you send in :

1. We are working at adding upto 32 photos for every product on this site - a huge task! ... you can see an example here : Albrecht AE6890
2. Customers photos let us enhance pages like our Installing Info pages - which help a lot of people.

Tips on how to win :

• Please send as many photos as you can - the more you send, the better your chances of winning
• Take photos of any CB gear you have (it doesn't matter if items weren't bought from us)
• Take them from different angles and some close up, some from further away
• Please take the photos in as large a format as possible (i.e. the highest resolution/largest filesize your camera or phone does)
• Please try to make sure the photos are in focus and well exposed... ideally take the photos on a bright (but not sunny) day.
• When photographing a CB, make sure it's switched on and all controls are in the correct position (i.e. RF gain and Mic gain turned up - if your CB has these controls).
• When photographing aerials, try to take some to show the full length of the aerial, and some closer up to show the base of the aerial and the mount.
• There are some products that we particularly need photos of... if we've mentioned in an email that we particularly need photos of some items you've bought - photos of these will give you a better chance of winning
• If you can please take photos of everything, even down to how you've routed the aerial cable, or connected a CB to power - these photos will be useful to someone

How to send us photos :

There's two ways of sending us photos...

1. Email them to us at 4x4cb.com@gmail.com We can receive emails with up to 25mb of attachments - you can send as many emails as you need... photos can be individually attached or "zipped" into a single compressed file.
2. Every product on this site has a "send us a photo" link at the top of the description, this takes you to an upload page where you can upload a photo directly to this site.

How we decide the winner

We have devised a points system, with points awarded on four criteria :

• 1/ number of photos
• 2/ quality of photos (resolution, lighting, focus, etc)
• 3/ the usability of the photos (how well they show the products)
• 4/ how much we need photos of the particular products

General notes :

By sending us photos, you agree to let us (Communication Eleven, 4x4cb.com) edit & adjust any photographs you send and use as we see fit on our website and printed literature.

Your installation doesn't have to be perfect, or even neat, just as long as it's there and functional... all photos will give the viewer an idea of how and where an item can be installed, we're not judging the quality of your installation and it's not a competition to see who's done the best job!

For your protection, any photos where number plates are shown will be edited so they cannot be read.

It doesn't matter if you didn't buy your equipment from us, photos of it will still be gratefully received.

If possible, please do some close-up shots and some from further away... Take them of the mount on your vehicle as seen from outside, but also behind the mount (if you can get to it), showing the cable connection and earthing... Take them from different angles, especially if it helps to illustrate an objects' size.

We're hoping that requesting photos like this will get us some good ones to use on the site for the benefit of our visitors and customers - if you're undecided whether you should bother or not please do!

All photos will be gratefully received and are very much appreciated!

Previous Winners and monthly stats :

We introduced the £20 monthly voucher prize in June 2008, but we sometimes run special Photo Competitions with multiple prizes, giving away upto £250 worth of vouchers in a month! Below are statistics for the number of contributors (people who sent photos), photos received and winners.
