DSC04745

We’re looking for a few big, splashy photos that help tell the global Mozilla Webmaker story. Got a favorite you don’t see included below? Please post your ideas as comments to this post — or tweet them to me through @OpenMatt.

Places to look:

Splashy, diverse and global. With a story attached.

The photos can also be combined with a bit of extra data — like the place, some of the details, and maybe a quote or sentence to help bring them to life. We’re looking for photos that are:

  • Diverse and global. We want to tell a story about Webmaker around the world.
  • Work in high resolution. They’ll need to look good at least 600 or 800 pixels wide.
  • Human. Emphasizing that this is a global community getting together to teach and learn the web.
  • With a big of context or a quote. Just a sentence or two.

Check out these below, and let us know if you have ideas for more…

It would be great to have a quote from a Mozilla Rep explaining how Webmaker is helping them do their work.
