LuckyOliver is currently in the process of accepting photo submissions and is offering a 60% royalty on the first 30,000 exclusive-rights images accepted. Photographers interested in learning more about LuckyOliver or submitting photos for consideration should visit www.luckyoliver.com.<br \/>\nEspecially for Photography Hobbyists and Enthusiasts<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve taken photographs for as long as I can remember&#8211;I must have thousands, if not tens of thousands sitting on hard drives or CDs,&#8221; said Bryan Zmijewski, founder and chief instigator at LuckyOliver. &#8220;I had the feeling that other people had these too&#8211;really cool images that would never see the light of day. And that&#8217;s where the idea for LuckyOliver was born. LuckyOliver adds an incentive, in the form of monetary royalties, to help get high-quality images out of dusty hard drive storage and into the hands of designers and artists who can use them.&#8221;<br \/>\nHigher Royalties on the First 30K Images Accepted<br \/>\nLuckyOliver is offering a 60% royalty to photographers whose exclusive-rights photos are accepted&#8211;up until the LuckyOliver image library reaches 30,000 images. &#8220;We understand the need to quickly get to a tipping point of high-quality imagery&#8230;and what better way to get to that point than to bribe our photographers?&#8221; joked Bryan.<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s Perfect for Getting My Photos Out There&#8221;<br \/>\nBoth professional photographers and photography hobbyists are excited about LuckyOliver. &#8220;I found LuckyOliver after looking for just this type of web site for years,&#8221; said San Diego-based Matt Gowe, a self-described digital and film photographer. &#8220;I&#8217;ve tried several different sites in the past and even have my own web site, but advertising costs are so high that it&#8217;s prohibitive.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;LuckyOliver is perfect for getting my photos out there and for sale without having to break the bank.&#8221; Matt continued, &#8220;The LuckyOliver staff has been outstanding with their feedback and help&#8211;and I&#8217;m really happy with the advice I&#8217;m getting about my photography style and with how many of my photos have been accepted on the site.&#8221;<br \/>\nAbout LuckyOliver<br \/>\nFounded in 2005, LuckyOliver, a product of MegaGlobal Image Syndicate, Inc., provides amateur and professional photographers and graphic designers a community-based outlet in which to sell and purchase photographs.
