Submissions

SpiceShots.net encourages our members and friends to share their photos and stories with your fellow members.  Again, our mission is to spice up the sex lives of couples.  Watching other couples play is fun and exciting foreplay.  Reading romantic stories is also fun and exciting!

We hold contests for the best photo set submission and the best story.  We even offer a free month's membership to those who share freely their quality photographs and the stories behind them. 

Please post your stories or photos!  Click here for the contest rules.

Submit your photos and stories via email to:

Submissions@spiceshots.net

Indicate in the subject line if it is a submitted STORY or PHOTOS.

Quick summary of the rules again:

1. This should be your photos - you or your significant other or friend took them - amateur photos!  No commercial material!

2. Nothing illegal.  No underage individuals in photos.  No violence.  No animals, potty games or vegetables.

3. Stories should be from 500 - 3000 words (1000-2000 optimal).  Illustrations / photos encouraged!  No plagiarizing!

4. Photos should be good quality, 640x480 pixels minimum, 750Kb per picture maximum (use .jpg compression) (read on for tips and tricks). 

5. Groin-only submissions will be declined.  Show some facial detail (we can pixelate if you wish.  If you don't know how, include it in your note and we'll do it), show both dressed candid photos as well as semi-dressed and nudes.  Include some details about what's happening, who's pictured, and so on.

 

To submit your photos all you need to do is follow the next few steps:
a) Scan the pictures into your computer. If they are on video tape, use a capture device to convert them into digital stills or digital video - or better yet use a digital camera.
b) Compress the images into .JPG format using an image editor.
c) Email your photos (please include some comments/background story/where you live/name of your model(s) or nickname of your model(s) would be great!) to this email address:
submissions@spiceshots.net
d) Your email address will not be used by us for any other reason than to inform you about winning a prize and to confirm your entry.

FAQs

How do I convert to jpg-format?
Most graphics / photo software will let you "save as".  Look for a "file type" option and select .jpg or .jpeg.  If you do not have a jpg converter, you need to get one for your platform. Go to a search engine and type in "jpg converter" and you will find free software, regardless of your platform (Mac, Windows, etc).

What file size and resolution should I use:
1024x768 or 1280x1024 with file sizes of 80-160Kb per photo is about optimum (72dpi).  Please use a maximum of 2072 pixels for the largest side of your photo (height or width).  Please use the high quality (high quality means low compression) JPG compression.  The bigger the files are you email us, the better they will look on our website.  So long as each photo is less than 750Kb, we're happy (and you'll be happier with faster upload times!!).  640x480 is the minimum size we want to receive and 100-250Kb per photo is a good size to send us.

What about digital cameras?
The higher the resolution, the better the results. Try to set your cam to "LESS photos, BETTER resolution, LESS compression".

What's up with .jpg compression?
Compression destroys the quality of your photos.  Some compression is hardly noticeable.  Too much leaves the photo looking horrible.  Use following rule of thumb: "The smaller the file size, the poorer the photo quality."

Compressed, 15.1Kb

WAY too compressed! 1.2Kb

Should I zip my images?
You can do so to keep things neat and tidy for us (which is always appreciated).  It will not make your transmission faster, because jpg is already compressed and compressing it again will not save much space. 

What about Mime, binhex or uu? My email client asks for that!
Choose MIME. Please do not use binhex

How many pictures should I send?
The more the merrier!  You may break up your photos in several emails for the same submission. 

• You need a minimum of 10 acceptable quality photos in a single submission to be eligible for the monthly contest.  Submit 15 or more to be on the safe side.

• You need a minimum of 30 acceptable quality photos in a single submission to receive a free month's membership to SpiceShots.net (our way of saying thanks for going above and beyond a simple contest entry).  Submit 35 or more to be sure.  

• Don't steal someone else's work.  If we suspect fraud, we'll decline your post.  If we accept the post and find out later it belongs to someone else, you will be banned from future posts and your membership revoked!

What about my copyrights?
You retain the copyright for your photos.  By submitting your photos, you give us the right to post them on our website. We stamp the photos to discourage image theft.
